RE: The Rise of the Downtrodden and the Growth of Decrease
The #metoo movememt is an old political infighting tactic commonly seen in communist or other such monolothic political systems. The US with its sclerotic "two-party" system is just catching up with the rest of the populist authoritarian regimes. One of the favorite political weapon is upholding sexual laws, customs, or mores. Enforcement of such rules can cast a wide net, as the US experiences currently, with no one completely immune to political purges in the guise of moral revival. Augustus Caesar's defense of "Roman family values" during his consulate was an example of aforementioned political consolidation.
The Leftist political faction, having failed to destroy one President Trump with sexual misconduct, is demonstrating that it can purge any one from any profession at any level of position. Much like when communists purge opposing faction, usually, the purge starts with #2 or #3 highest ranking opposition, trickles down to purge everyone who may pose an obstacle, then finally the #1 ranking opposition is off'ed once he has been sufficiently neutered.
The underlying messages of any sexual misconduct laws/purges is not that men need to be celibate, but men can not control their basic urges. Your recommendation neatly plays into the Leftist propaganda of "rape culture" and subsequence necessity of sexual conduct laws to control men from their beastly desires. A mark of a human would be he who mastered his base urges and desires. The #metoo Leftist political farce can not be neutralized, until the Western assumption of "rape culture" can be ideologically annihilated.
Great points.
I think the best way to obliterate the 'rape culture' allegation and the #metoo movement is just people getting freaky in voluntary hookups. Nothing but diverse, and ubiquitous, healthy relationships could have the same power to dismiss such madness.
I see that Japan has succumbed, and failed to surmount the test. I see the MGTOW movement also as failure, including my own hermitage. I think I read once that the average age that the Chinese lost their virginity was 26 (more than a decade ago, so vague recollection), which dumbfounded me, and would be a further example of imposition of unnatural contraints on social interactions, IMHO.
Good, voluntary sexual intercourse will vanquish such manipulative techniques faster and more effectively than anything else. I'm not advocating inappropriate acts, but rather people refusing to give up sex, and maintaining nominal social interactions, rather than succumbing, as Japan has.
