Is anyone else just kind of sick and tired of seeing crap like this?

Hey Eleanor! - It's Not Okay.

It's Not Okay.



Some Lefty Facebook "friend" I vaguely remember going to school with a decade or so ago (lapsed Ron Paul 'Legalize it!' Libertarian, turned short, obese, and ugly foaming-at-the-mouth Bern... err... Hillary-loving SJW just in time for the 2016 election - Oh joy! :roll: ) posted a link to this article a moment or so ago. It's basically a long, melodramatic, hyper-preachy, retelling of every single "creepy guy hits on me" experience some 20-something blonde female has ever experienced.

I'm sorry... But, "so what?"

It seems like this has become some big thing for the Left to harp on (especially in the wake of this whole Trump fiasco). I really just fail to see the point of spamming the internet with these kinds of stories.

What is it supposed to accomplish, exactly?

To inform me that creepy assholes exist? Yeah. I'm well aware. I've run afoul of more than a few myself - though, obviously, not in quite the same context.

To tell me that I'm somehow to blame for all of this, or to bring me to guilt? Yeeeaaah... Sorry, but I'm not, and I will not. I've never behaved like any of those men in my life, nor do I have any intention of doing so now.

To tell me that I'm supposed to make the creepy assholes of the world go away... Somehow? Ummm... How, pray tell?

As far as I can tell, this is basically just the female equivalent of the "'Nice Guy' ranting."

i.e. "This one girl was a total bitch to me once! They're all evil!"

Yup. Some people suck. And yup. Some of the ways people find it socially acceptable to behave suck.

At a certain point, however, you've just got to learn to abide and move on with your life. Constant whining isn't helping anyone.

Frankly - particularly with regard to the girl under discussion here - I think that's actually giving these kinds of articles too much credit. The vast majority of the stuff these women describe (one of the men mentioned in the article was later arrested as a freaking rapist, for God's sakes) would never be viewed as being "socially acceptable" by anyone of half-way decent breeding to begin with. They are the exclusive purview of people pretty much everyone already agrees are creeps, weirdos, and belligerent meat-heads.

All this kind of bash-me-over-the-head moralistic storytelling really accomplishes is to "preach to the choir," and give certain kinds of politically motivated men an excuse to "virtue signal" by "me too" reposting it on social media. The whole thing's just a joke.

Anyway... That's my rant for the evening. :lol:

I don't really give enough of a **** about this kinda stuff to ever be sick of it.

and yet here you are, whining about what you consider to be whining. except because its your whining that is clearly the most Morally Superior

Pointing out the various reasons why an idiotic overblown hypocritical counter-productive fad is genuinely idiotic, overblown, hypocritical, and counter-productive is not "whining."

its so socially unacceptable that 65 percent of women report being sexually harassed in their lifetime? lol ok

Annnnddd... I'm sure that far more than 62% of men wind up being emotionally manipulated for some mean-spirited girl's amusement at some point in their life.

See the OP. What's your point?

It's amazing all the victims in this generation. I've had my ass grabbed by women in the workplace or my titty twisted or something inappropriate said to me. I didn't report it and I just sloughed it off. Who cares. Stop being such a sissy victim.

You know, this is why women don't speak up when they are molested/assaulted/raped. Sorry that they annoy you when they do it online.

Please explain how women telling these stories of being molested/assaulted/raped are idiotic? Or overblown? How in the world are they hypocritical or counter-productive?

Whether that's true or not it's not really an apt comparison

Also speaking of the OP I'm glad you went out of your way to paint a vivid picture of just how un****able the person in question was. Pretty par for the course for you tho

If there's any universal constant in this world, it's that sometimes women make things up.

I mean... It's not like I can't empathize here to a certain extent. My mom's told me plenty of stories about creepy things that happened to her when she was young.

Some weirdo called her up to his car to expose himself to her and a friend when she was a young teen. A creepy friend of her dad's drunkenly french kissed her at a New Year's Party when she was 17. And, etca, etca.

She certainly doesn't think that is how men should behave, and she certainly raised me to behave differently. However, what she certainly didn't do is let these experiences define her life, by endlessly wallowing in them.

Women are sissies when they are minors and have to fend off creepy adult men making passes at them? They should just suck it up?

He can't really. All he really can do is spout misogynist platitudes and either half-truths or outright falsehoods. And then he wonders why women don't like him lmao

I'm not bragging about it. They were fat and twice my age and I didn't want that sexual assault from them. But I didn't make a federal case out of it. So friggin what? Some middle aged woman grabbed my butt. It didn't scar me for life or any of this whiny nonsense we get from this Millennial generation that can't leave their momma's house without crying because the world is so unfair to them.

The woman in that post does not indicate it defined her. You have have no idea if this is the first time she said these things, much less is wallowing in it. And when women are met with OPs like yours, it's no wonder that they stay silent. So the next time a famous man finds himself in a storm of allegations emerging from over the decades, it might possibly be because of OP like this. They don't want to annoy anyone with their experiences.

First off, there isn't a single "assault" mentioned anywhere in that article. It just a list of some random guys being vaguely creepy and or rude. Her melodramatics over it are "overblown" for that exact reason.

Secondly, see my response to Brewdog.

He strikes me as being something of a spastically indecisive "bandwagon-hopping" weakling, yes.

He's been annoying me for some time.

Sure. No woman has ever been molested/assaulted/raped. They are all liars.

You can just admit that you don't like certain problems being addressed for once. You're free to do so

She's apparently devoted herself to writing preachy blog posts about these trivial experiences just to drum up sympathy from strangers on the internet. I think that more than speaks for itself. :roll:

Again, where is the (to use a military term) "So What Factor" here? Why do I need to known about these things? Why does it need to be "put on blast" all over social media?

What is this supposed to accomplish?

Why not just remove him and unburden yourself. Might lead to less of your whining

Women like me plenty, thank you.

Granted, I don't particularly understand why, sometimes. However, they do have a tendency to move in mysterious ways. :lol:
