    Gigantic and lazy strawman to said metoo simply means always to be believed.

    Metoo is lots and lots of people have been sexually harassed and assaulted and for various reasons from society to individual shame, they stayed silent and reluctant to come out till now. Ask yourself why would you fear this?

    People like @MojoMan think rape isn't a crime, so naturally he wants to attack any woman who complains about sexual harassment or sexual assault - they should just be thankful they have a job and that someone wants to bang them, right? They should sit back and enjoy it, right mojo?

    Mojoman after all has had his share of "metoo" chicks "falsely" accusing him of rape. She never said "no" right Mojo? Hey who cares if she was passed out from drinking - she wouldn't have done that unless she wanted it, right mojo?

    That's because you're accepting the mainstream narrative, which is fallacious.

    Women today have a vast control over their own fertility. Some court may attempt to restrict this in the future, but that's just speculation at this point.

    The wage gap is real, but it's also a lie. Men and women make different choices about their careers. From those choices come the pay gap. If a woman wanted to become a petroleum engineer, and work all of her adult life, and never get married or have children, she would likely make as much or more than a man in that same profession.

    Welcome to adulthood, where one has to face scary things every once in a while. BTW, it should be mentioned that getting assaulted is largely avoidable. The best way to avoid a bad situation is not to be there. And it's not hard to figure out what those bad situations are or could be.

    Uh, no. If companies could pay women less for doing the same job as men, why would companies ever hire men? It would be more cost effective to hire women.

    And, here's another factor -- how many two jobs are directly comparable these days? Increasingly, fewer and fewer.

    That is correct. The Sharia law nations have it all figured out.

    Bars, house parties and dance clubs should only be for men only.

    I totally agree that women have a lot more insight on this. That being said ive seen female talk show hosts have a problem with Kavanaugh's confirmation just cause he was accused.

    I thunk Kavanaugh received a fair amount of scrutiny if for no other reason this was do long ago.

    Sexaul assault is very serious so it should have been looked at but at the dame time Kavanaugh obviously doesn't harrass women now. So that should be taken into consideration. This was a very difficult case

    Why are you guys talking about Sharia law. Obviously Republicans dont want Sharia Law and you cant have it both ways because you would criticize for being paranoid about Sharia Law

    90% of violent crime is committed by men.

    95% of murder is committed by men.

    Nearly 100% of rape is committed by men.

    JESUS CHRIST WE MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT A MAN POSSIBLY BEING WRONGLY ACCUSEDZ!!!

    And women as well -- they won't be able to do what they have been "getting away with since the beginning of time." Wouldn't that have been great if we a had a video of the serpent tempting Eve, then Eve leading Adam into ruin?

    But that's an imaginary story.

    Women being raped or sexually assaulted with no witness besides the culprit has happened since the beginning of mankind.

    Two things:

    a) the bulk of the victims in the crimes you are describing above are men. And does anybody even talk about what happens in men's prisons? No, except to laugh about it. But that's rape too, and men are victims. Then there's the female teacher/young male student thing going on these days. When that happens, it's described as "an improper sexual relationship." But in fact, it should be considered rape. And it is, when the gender roles are reversed. Nobody talks about that double standard.

    b) we should be very concerned about anyone, male or female, being falsely accused of anything.

    That’s an extreme view dude.

    If you look at it through politic... You got the POTUS and now a sitting Supreme Court justice representing the GOP. If you continue to support the GOP, you need to think metoo isn’t so important or you think it is important but you need to discredit it. The discredit isn’t going to change anyone else mind, but it’s important to rationalize it within yourself and to your group. That’s already ongoing and is growing. For gop women and some men - win at all cost even if it means suppressing a part of yourself.

    Yes we should be locked in our house so that men can't assault us.
    There is one word to describe your posts. D I S G U S T I N G

    Little men like you are the root of the problem. Please kindly refrain from quoting or replying to me anymore because your misogynism makes me sick you dick.

    I hope you never have a daughter, and don't have a sister or mother.

    So we only care to protest if he's black, despite 60% of fatal violent crimes being committed by black men? Clearly, your sense of justice has to do with predetermined agendas.

    Nothing wrong with due process with accusations. There are no stats which can come close to saying who was rightly and wrongly accused.

    When people say stupid things like this it makes me hope that at some point they are wrongly accused of sexual assault and their life is ruined by it. Perhaps then those people will have a less ignorant take on the situation.
