legislating biology

 It's an inquisition without the religion ! I'll probably be called a chauvinist, or a number of other names for this opinion, but that is exactly what it is starting to look like to me. Accusations are made, an investigation based on hearsay and innuendo is launched, and the person is found guilty. Only difference between the inquisition and what's happening right now is you can resign your position. If you resign and apologize you can avoid further persecution. Better still, you can check into a  rehabilitation center. Perhaps it is an addiction, addiction is never your fault so that's excusable. Kinda like receiving absolution. In both instances if you pay the fee, you're forgiven.
 Let's just calm down and take a good look at what the problem is. At this particular moment in time it's sexual harassment. Of course, only guys sexually harass anyone so guys are the root of the problem. Guys get power or fame and use that to intimidate, harass, and coerce the female workers around them. That's what they do !  The only solution is to get rid of the men. If they were all replaced with women none of this would happen. Well, I guess it is alright if they are gay guys, hey, they use the same bathroom as the girls and so are in the loop. Gay guys are alright, they're sensitive and caring. I'm not sure where the transsexual or gender neutral person would fit into all of this. But whatever the case, it's the guys that are the problem here. It doesn't matter how the women dress, what subtle messages they may send, no matter how coy they may act, none of that matters at all. Just putting bait on the hook shouldn't cause anyone to bite ! Even better is baiting the hook, getting a catch and waiting forty years or more to reel it in ! There is even a movement for that action, #me too.
 Now I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm not saying any of that is excusable. What I am saying is why, all at once, is it such a shock ! Why after all these years, and this interaction between men and women has been going on since, well, since people have had sexual urges, a biological function of all mammals, animals, plants and fish and fowl. Well, as Clarence Carter wrote in a song many years ago, " everything that has got life in it likes to make love." And now, in 2017, it's a big problem ! It's an assault ! Yes, just speaking in an inappropriate fashion is an assault. What I don't understand is how are we going to define a violation. During the inquisition it was easier, just interpret what was written in the Bible. If you didn't believe in the Bible you were guilty. If you believed in the Bible and begged for forgiveness, you were guilty. If you begged for forgiveness but could provide some information to bring down a bigger fish than yourself, absolution could be granted ! You went free, for a price. I hear quite a few people have been getting paid to remain silent, absolution was at hand.
 Yes and now Time magazine is placing four women on their cover declaring them " the silent ones. " They represent all the women that have suffered in silence as they were sexually harassed. Will all men have to pay reparations ? OMG, Women's lives Matter ! The women heading this movement up have been known to parade in the streets wearing a replica of their genitals as a hat ! They advocate for unbridled sex. I have to pay for their contraceptives, health screenings and abortions, if that is what they want. I should only agree to participate in this sex if I am first invited to do so, no advancement on my part is acceptable, no matter how slight. Soon a written agreement will be required to protect yourself from accusations.
 There is one thing that bothers me about this " silent ones " thing. Are they being recognized for not saying anything ? Are they the heroines of inaction ? Oh, I understand the rhetoric associated with this. Beaten, oppressed, and scared, these women suffered in silence. They were, after all, just women. But wait a minute, didn't you just tell me women were as strong as men. Didn't you just tell me women were equals ? Well, if all of that is so why didn't these " silent ones " speak up ? They were scared and so now we will give them a medal ! Yes, real heroines I'd say. Want a heroine, try Joan of Arc. There are many other examples of genuine heroines throughout history.
 Look what we are talking about here is human interaction. Males have pursued females since the beginning. Regardless of any social changes in that regard, the majority of males are attracted to females. Gasp, isn't that a revelation. There are guys that are, for lack of a better term, wolves. Yeah, some guys are like that, whereas the ladies were called promiscuous. In more modern terms, dogs and sluts ! Whatever the label, men are attracted to women. I know, I know, it is a shocker alright. This must be stopped ! Why it is just, immoral ! And there you have it, men are taking actions contrary to moral and ethical standards ! This requires an inquisition ! Only a cleansing by fire will do !  We will erase this vile, base, desire of men to say unwanted things to ladies, and in some cases actually touch them ! It is an assault on what ? Moral and virtuous behavior, that's what, but we can't base it on religious beliefs. It requires legislation.
 Could any of this have to do with getting the upper hand ? Call me cynical but it looks like the perfect timing for a power grab. If I can just fling accusations, without any proof at all, hoping they stick why shouldn't I ? It is what we do these days. Find an excuse, er, reason and level accusations, and then demand reparations. Pick your category. Are you a minority ? Maybe you're skin color is different, maybe you enjoy aberrant behaviors, maybe you just want to use the girls locker room ! If you are not allowed to do so you are being oppressed ! If you are a female and work for a male. He's a predator and guilty of assault. The proof ? Well he did say I looked good, or asked me for a date. I felt uncomfortable around him. He's guilty ! You know what the best role in our society today is ? Victim ! Yes that's it. If I can show how I have been the victim and someone survived that I am a hero ! I don't have to actually do a thing, just be the victim. The victim gets the reward !!
