@engineer,
Quote:
The so-called masculine traits included “Acts as a Leader,” “Aggressive,” “Ambitious,” “Analytical,” “Has Leadership Abilities,” “Strong Personality” and “Willing to Take a Stand.”

The so-called feminine traits included “Affectionate,” “Cheerful,” “Childlike,” “Compassionate,” “Gullible,” “Loves Children” and “Yielding.” None of the feminine traits involved leadership ― ostensibly a focus of the training.


WTF???

This is the smartest piece I ever read about #metoo and related topics:

How do we understand sexual pleasure in this age of ‘consent’?
by Heidi Matthews
https://aeon.co/ideas/how-do-we-understand-sexual-pleasure-in-this-age-of-consent

(in short, our erotic lives are co-created with our sexual partners. This involves taking risk and pushing boundaries, at least occasionally, otherwise there's no creativity, no exploration of new sexual territories. Making consent the alpha and omega of what constitutes legal, socially desirable sex may prevent us from developing our erotic selves. )

Quote:
The actualisation of the sexual self can happen at the same time that degrees of fear, repulsion and uncertainty – as well as excitement and intrigue – are present on both sides.

Via Milt Policzer at Courthouse News:

Those of you who enjoy surrealism as much as I do may want to look at a somewhat frightening ruling by a Texas appeals court the other day. It seems that 13-year-olds and younger are now free to commit sexual assaults in Texas without punishment. They know not what they do.

If you’re in Texas or have to travel there, I strongly recommend avoiding anyone who looks young. The appeals court says because state legislators decided that kids can’t legally consent to sex, they also can’t consent to sex they force on someone else.

I’m guessing Texas legislators might have been surprised by this interpretation.

The result was that a case against a 13-year-old who molested a 12-year-old was dismissed with prejudice. There was a crime but no criminal.

Note to Texas prosecutors: Just charge kids with assault. They can probably consent to that.

@edgarblythe,
You want to put 13 year old kids in jail for sexual experimentation with each other?

This doesn't make any sense.

@edgarblythe,
For the record I think the Outrage Porn of The Day (TM) is related to Romeo and Juliet laws where kids that are the same age don't get criminal records from sexual experimentation.

It is an interesting topic. I do believe that punishing kids for consensual activity with their peers is stupid.

Was it consensual? The blog referenced by the cited blog doesn't give the details, and the case it cites only details its ruling based on a technicality.

@InfraBlue,
If you google for the recent case of 13 year olds in the courts (I only found one) in Texas... it was consensual.

It is outrage porn InfraBlue. Of course the blog doesn't give the details the goal is to titillate self-righteous liberals. Facts just get in the way.

@InfraBlue,
Edgar is the one posting the outrage porn, it seems like he should be the one providing a link with the details of the actual story. But ... whatever.

Al Jazeera English:

Women are recounting their experiences of sexual assault using the hashtag #MeToo. But will men take responsibility for their actions?


I'm not sure if anyone remembers how this thread got started, but it sure didn't take too long before the crybabies showed up.

@glitterbag,
This thread is full of crybabies... it was designed that way from the initial post.

@maxdancona,
You may be right, how dare men and women who experienced sexual abuse or rape as children complain about something some people think is just a right of passage. I'm so proud of you for being so strong despite whatever the hell you hint may have happened to you.

@glitterbag,
You have turned rape into a political tool. I dont think you care at all about rape victims. Do you really think all rape victims agree with you? You are apparently willing to attack any of them who dares to cross you.

If you really care about rape victims... you should stop using them to push your political agenda.

People filled with rage and inadequacy delight in pulling down online threads as a way to make their miserable selves have power, whereas in real life they haven't an iota.

And massive resentment coupled with misdirected fury.

Have you seen Twitter? Much of the MeToo freak show is nothing but virtue signaling.

@glitterbag,
Beats me. What's an INCEL? Someone who has no time or patience for feminist hysteria and false accusations of rape?
