Recent events have brought about the discussion regarding sexual harassment of women. While my opinion is going to be on the wrong side of the conclusions some are coming to, it will also be the one on the side of morality.
Having grown up in the 40‘s, 50‘s, 60‘s, I was taught to show respect for women. We, as boys, were taught to never swear, or use coarse language, in front of a woman. We were taught to give up our seat on the bus, to open doors, etc., for the woman. How things have changed.
While we are hearing much about how women are “demeaned” we are hearing nothing about how women have done so to themselves. In fact, we are told the woman must be believed. We are told that women are not to blame. Really?
How many men can remember (if they got a divorce) how the woman was always believed in spite of the evidence presented? How many men lost custody of their children even when it was shown that the mother was the one abusing the child? The argument then was one of “nurturing” which developed in to the “best interests of the child” theory. However, we hear none of this in the arguments being presented today.
As a 73 year old male I remember the playing cards one could get at any Army surplus store that featured half naked women on the back. I remember the “Go Go Girls”. I remember the male counterpart, the “Chip and Dales”, where women were encouraged to fondle men, and put currency in the mans waist belt just as men were to do to the “Go Go Girls”. I remember the first playboy. Anyone remember “pin ups”? And that was 60 years ago, and the woman enjoyed it, not whining about it.
So, what is all the noise about now? This is not about consensual activities, nor is it about the perverted acts of the likes of Clinton, Trump, Moore, etc. It is the false argument of the women, and the renewal of the Feminist movement. It is about power, not the power of men, the power of women. That is the clarion call of the ones arguing this matter. More power for women. More feminization of the male. NOTHING about the removal of the man, the father, from the scene by the Courts, or by the feminizing of men.
What is being ignored are the children. Since the outgrowth of the feminist movement we have seen an increase in the destruction of the family. Children, which used to be called “latch key” children, are now running the streets as a group of the homeless. In our county it is estimated that between 750-2200 children sleep in other peoples beds, or on the streets, each night. And where is the mother, the one that Nature created to care for, to nurture, to protect, these children? She is furthering her career. She is seeking more “power”. And, in some instances, she is the one supporting her family.
How about the workplace. Women come out work all decked out in their finest, looking good with their makeup on, low cut blouses, high cut skirts, and ready for what may come. The men? All decked out in their suits and ties. (Of course this does not apply to the laborer, just the ones with an office. Had to put that in there before some snowflake got all offended) And then they wonder why the men look at them, and then yell “sexual harassment”.
Now, before the snowflakes show me how offended truth affects you, yes, this is about women, and their craving for power. If you wish to speak about men, and their search for power then start another topic, and don’t deflect from this. I am a proud male chauvinist, and nothing will change that. I come from a time when women actually appreciated their roles in society, and the family, and men honored them for it. So tell me, why is it that as women have gained more power in the workplace, or in politics, etc., the family has been torn apart, and more kids are dying from drug overdoses?
