So if you believe half of the #metoo on twitter

Post by CFB Apologist »

Than 95% of us are rapists, rapists that got away with it, sexual harassers, predators etc.. thousands of women are using that hashtag saying they were raped, harassed every day etc by men.. it's unreal - so much so I have a hard time believing it

Depends on how far the terms "assault" and "harassment" are stretched. If harassment is defined as any unwanted attention, then everyone, male and female, has been harassed. Similarly, if assault is defined as any unwanted touching, the just about the whole world has been sexually assaulted.

Like you, I would define assault as something much more serious than boorish behavior.

Sorry to hear about that and glad he was caught/prosecuted. I take it very seriously- i detest rapists like most decent people do.

Right - one woman said she was harassed sexually by a man at work commenting on her leg tattoo - she said she was violated. Yeah that to me is a stretch

Women with tattoos tend to be whores. She was probably hoping for legitimate rape.

I believe people with a modicum of logic and reason have begun to tune out the SJW nut jobs with their constant drumbeat of widespread and pernicious racism, the "rape culture" meme, and the ridiculous "privilege" complaint. They strip words of their meaning until they are meaningless.

Long story short...we were living in Marion...he was a psychopathic friend of her brother...he had been actively stalking her for several months...local cops were worthless...he broke into the house...she got to her gun in time...she emptied her .38 Special S&W into him...she spent several days in the hospital...she was never charged and cleared of any wrong doing.

yes, that is the issue. I would say that 100% of everyone has been sexually harassed at some point in their life. And there are many drunken hook ups that people regret later. But as I have said before if I was not married the last 27 years and in the dating world, I would have a signed sex contract before I touched anyone, these days that is required

My guess is that the interviewer does not ask a woman if she has ever been assaulted. The interviewer asks if she has ever received unwanted attention or any looks from men that she didn't want.

And if she answers yes, the interviewer will TELL HER that she's been assaulted and record her answers accordingly.
