| Sarah Hoyt: When Every Boy is Guilty, Every Girl Becomes A Monster |
| 2018-09-22 |
| h/t Instapundit [PJMedia] ...The most proximal one, though, is the accusation against Kavanaugh, which, even if true, would not be in any way actionable nor, barring this behavior persisting into adulthood, mean anything about his character as a grown up. High School has always been a weird and psychologically unstable part of anyone's growing up years, partly because we’re all learning the ropes of what "adult" means, and partly because we’re isolated with other kids, also all learning the ropes. (It’s not the best system, no.) But this nonsense, which by the way, not only doesn’t rise to "credible" it’s barely past the level of "inane ramblings of crazy woman on the corner" are being given credibility and Senate is bending over backward to give that crazy woman the chance to ramble at them. Any way she wants to. Which is a symptom of deeper corruption. ...the reaction older son got. I got a phone call saying he was sexually harassing a girl. Since at 6 he didn’t know how to spell "harassment" and would be uncertain on the meaning of "sexual" (both boys were far less curious than I was at their ages) I begged leave to differ, marched down to the school like the wrath of mom and demanded proof. At which point I was given a very bad, rather innocent poem. I mean the boy didn’t even say he wanted to kiss her. Just that she was pretty and her eyes were like stars. I pointed this out. I was sarcastic. It was resolved it would be forgotten if he just kept his poems to himself. (Which, honestly, every poet should be encouraged to do, since the collapse of society starts with open mic poetry nights.) Something similar happened to Grom Jr. At the age of 7 he was accused of kissing a girl on a cheek against her will (as it turned out - her parents came to apologize later - she realized that it was against her will when she saw him kissing another girl). Fortunately, for everybody concerned, I didn't find out about this until later. Ex-wife called her mother - who keeps a law firm on retainer for feuding with Tel Aviv city hall - and one of the associates called the district school supervisor. Eventually we had to move Grom Jr to another school where the principal wasn't so "American" (a common Israeli expression). Since then he's reasonably free of trouble. This should have been seen as a sign of things to come, but I wasn’t aware of the insanity stalking this land. Not yet. So I assumed it was Manitou Springs, and someone had overindulged in hash brownies. ...Next came elementary school in Colorado Springs. Younger son (slower developing than his brother, and at that time completely unaware of the difference in "vive la difference.") was in third grade. ...I was at the dentist. We lived in the Old North End, the first trolley car suburb. Meaning it was about a mile and a half to downtown, four blocks North to the elementary school and four blocks south to my dentist. I’m sitting in the waiting room. The dentist is a strict Christian, and his magazines are the cleanest sort, his clientele mostly elderly. I get a phone call. And hear words coming out of my mouth. And all the elderly women staring at me in horror, because they were rather special in that kind of words. So I told the elderly ladies "the school is telling me they’re calling the police because my 8-year-old touched a girl." ...Now fast forward to this incident reported today in a Colorado Springs middle school (heavens, I hope it’s the same. This bad a crazy infecting more than one school would be scary.): Boy, 13, Arrested, Cuffed And Dragged From School Over #MeToo Allegations. ...And what girls are learning in our society, partly through warped women like that playground guard who decided kids’ interacting was sexual harassment when younger son was in third grade, is that all men are dangerous, evil and guilty of something. And that women accusing them of made up stuff is not only all right, and not only brings power, but it’s somehow "heroic" and gets the girl or woman praise and adulation. It is a "Handmaid Tale", except in reverse, in schools and universities - and with #MeToo it's came out into society at large |

| #8 Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin, Mao, Madam Mao ... SEX IS NOTHING BUT A GLASS OF WATER! The libtards are dumbshits to think the integral of leftism will spout any other concept. |

| #6 Thing, just the fact that leftist are spreading this bullshit is bad enough. The idea that anyone is dumb enough to actually believe it is truly scary and depressing. |

| #5 I mean, stop and think for a second. Do any of y'all think for a second that any of the various degenerate western crybullies actually believe in the shit they're spouting? They have to spread shit of an ethnic, sexual, and/or religious nature because their last figurehead spent as much time trying to destroy the industrial base of the United States in a way that was highly abusive to the working class that was the Marxist factions' original supposed constituency, and they don't have the sort of power Stalin had to just maintain power and bask in the forced love of the working class in spite of it all. |

| #4 1. I think Ms. Hoyt is being way too generous when she suggests that anyone does any more than pretend to believe in this sort of shit for the sake of power. 2. The "left" is going to continue to believe in this shit until we start a real communist party and start hauling away all the power mad passive aggressive performance autist professors, programmers, brogrammers, rentrepeneurs, and private-jet-flying enviro-mentalcases out to the rice paddies to pay off their debts to the proletariat. The people who run China today are corrupt assholes but they're careful not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs because Mao sent _everyone_ through the system and really made an impression that you don't want to put the country out of business or you and your family is going to be sleeping in that rice paddy for the rest of their lives. The sycophants in that part of the Chinese side of the net will all talk about how smart Xi is but they simultaneously don't talk about all the specific dumb shit Xi is trying to avoid. |

| #1 There is a danger of presuming guilt and not innocence---A way to bypass Due Process. A further danger of political correctness. This becomes the "ends justify the means" railroad job. This becomes a vehicle for every feminazi to get even for the perceived wrongs of society--much of which in learned in public schools. No matter that some guy gets lynched in the process. |
