Musing For Today
I'm not so sure about the "Me Too" movement.
It's hard not to have feelings of ambivalence toward it. The underlying gist of it seems rational enough.
Then again, how much credence should one give to what's essentially a cult movement started by a band of upper echelon "trophy" bitches who, in spite of any adverse situations they may have endured at the hands of despotic wealthy bosses who were able to extort and/or blackmail them into performing sexual favors for them, are still nonetheless themselves enjoying plenty of wealth and prosperity and enviably lavish existences and extraordinary high status?
Am I to believe (as in the case of a few of them) that anyone's life can actually be "permanently ruined" by a mere unwanted brush on the leg, of by a "suggestive" pat on the shoulder?
It'll forever intrigue me how most people are always so shocked any time it's shown it's possible to subvert the sexual realm.
What's so hard to accept about that?
People routinely subvert just about everything else: politics; social interactions; arts and entertainment; the media; economics; business; industry; education; modes of transportation; literature; authority; the laws; the court systems; regulations; public and commercial services; charities; the medical field; science; religion ....
The problem with everyone's perception of the sexual realm is that they think it exists in a vacuum, in a separate world all its own.
But the reality is the sexual realm is simply just another element of existence. Another integral part of everything else that exists in the world. And, all things "being relative", anything that can be done in or to any other realm can also be done in or to the sexual realm as well.
In short, while the world is busy being distracted by this "sexual harassment" red herring, other (more critical and important, but unrelated) matters that deserve equal---if not more---attention will wind up not even being "on the radar".

I just remembered a song that would be a hit with the "Me Too" crowd.
ReplyDeleteIt's an ancient song revived by the folk quartet The Brothers Four in 1961, recorded under the title FROGG.
I tell you, that Molly Mouse was quite a hard-nosed no-nonsense lady. She could smell an ulterior motive ten miles away.
