The trick is flatly to deny any suggestion of illegal activity while going full 'Mea Culpa' on questions of poor (but, crucially, non-criminal) sexual etiquette.Originally Posted by Sir C
What's truly bizarre is that no one is even bothering to deny anything now, secure in the knowledge that denial orconfession amount to the same thing: once an allegation has been made, guilt is confirmed.
It's a funny little dance that's being performed. It will change nothing.
But what is poor sexual etiquette? Your man who sent his assistant to buy a dildo and called her 'sugar tits' was a bit crass, certainly, but he's being painted with the sexual predator brush.
Yes, but he is a minister who nobody has heard of and must therefore set an example to the public who, up until now, were completely ignorant of his existence.
Yes. What was a clear and obvious line between being a bit of a dick and criminal behaviour is being very deliberately blurred to the point where there is no moral distinction between a man who makes a suggestive comment and an actual rapist. Very soon, that blurring will take in even less radical things than that.
This is already happening. Increasingly, one is seeing articles and statements by women that this is about men as a whole. And that, of course, is the agenda: to portray normal male behaviour as sinister and predatory - to effectively criminalise maleness as 'toxic'.
