Yeah Id say a "#MeToo" backlash is coming...

Post by UpstateSCHokie »

There is just WAY too many of these sexual harassment allegations all of a sudden. The idea that people are guilty until proven innocent just flies in the face of our founding principle.

What are we, living in Salem MA in 1667? You can just accuse someone of something and they get burned at the stake? I don't think so. A backlash is coming and rightfully so.

oh hell yea, I have been saying since this crap started that to protect yourself do not interact with females and never be alone with them... you have to protect yourself. This will set back women but they have brought this on themselves. Being rude or trying to make a joke or touching a shoulder is not sexual harassment, except it is today. Two adults having sexual relations is not sexual assault.

I think the backlash is going to be on the credibility of women. Like blacks crying racism, women crying abuse is mostly a lie.

Yes, it will be harder for people that actually do have real issues
