#MeToo movement lawmaker investigated for sexual misconduct allegations

I'm asking you to share with me why you feel marginalized and weakened by the #MeToo movement. Why are you having a hard time answering that? Unless you're the COO of Facebook, she hasn't got anything to do with you.

Why are you weakened and marginalized because of what happened to people like Rose McGowan and Ashley Judd?

There you go again. Do others often tell you that you repeat yourself nonsensically?

I answered your question but you didn't like the answer.

Now, answer one for me -- what is it about the MeToo movement that you find beneficial?
 
Whatever. I'll remember this next time the script is flipped and you says it's a witch hunt because the woman accusing the man needs more than her word that it happened.

This just shows what a huge hypocrite you are.

In apdst's world:

Accuser is a man saying it happened = instantly believed and the woman is a slut

Accuser is a woman saying it happened = need evidence and it's just a witch hunt.

I never said Al Franken was innocent. I never said John Conyers was innocent.

(Cue the relocation of the goal posts...watch what I say)
 
Lots of worthwhile movements and causes get hijacked. It doesn’t lessen the value of the original movement or cause. You just have to have the presence of mind to treat each instance on its own merits rather than what hashtag is attached to it.

That's true and it's a damn shame that this one jumped the tracks because one it's most notable supporters has been accused of being a sexual preditor (slut).

Sexual predators are bad. Sluts are awesome. :)

That can go both ways. I dated a few sluts, but I wouldn't marry one.

It's like that old saying: you can make a housewife into a whore, but you can't make a whore into a housewife.
 
So, a woman who gets drunk, sexually assaults a subordinate isn't a slut? Sounds pretty slutty to me

Why am I not surprised to see people defending sexual assault, because the accused is a female (a democrat female)?

Hey, Ap. What's your reading level, homie? I feel like, given how badly you always twist my words and avoid discussing what I actually say, I'm thinking I may need to dumb it down a bit for you. Unless, of course, you think by twisting what people say you come off as provocative, in which case, let me help you out here, you come off looking like a lackwit.

Her behavior, if true, would not be considered "slutty"... Good grief, the only people that call others that these days are either immature guys trying to figure out their chances of scoring outside of their snack bracket, cuckolds, prudes, or just bitter that someone is getting more action than they are. Which one are you, Ap?

If she acted this way she is a criminal...nothing more, nothing less. She should be investigated, and held accountable if her behavior was deemed to be outside of what is acceptable under the law, just like every man accused of the same. Wouldn't it be nice if that was the end of the story? You know, just like every other damn crime? lol... But no, because it's an uppity woman involved with standing up for other women, who stands accused, you use it to smugly discount an entire movement, for who knows what bent and twisted reason you've decided to be against movements trying to help women avoid being harassed and assaulted. We should all strive to be a good and noble human being like you, Ap.

Anyway, whatever, your thread is garbage, your logic is dead on the floor, and it's just another day at DP. I know you won't respond in any thoughtful, meaningful way, so happy trolling. It's Friday. :)
 
Awesome so long as you don't commit to one.

Depends on the person. I was a total slut before I met my wife, hooking up with a different woman every weekend. But I got it out of my system. Women can commit after sowing their wild oats as well.
 
There you go again. Do others often tell you that you repeat yourself nonsensically?

I answered your question but you didn't like the answer.

Now, answer one for me -- what is it about the MeToo movement that you find beneficial?

There I go again, asking you to clarify your own post?

Yeah, how terrible of me. I mean, really.

I didn't say anything about the #MeToo movement being "beneficial". Why are you deflecting? Just answer my question. How has the movement marginalized and weakened you?

How many times do you need to have the same answer? It doesn't marginalize or weaken ME.

It marginalizes and weakens women in general.

Is that concept really so tough for you to grasp?

Since you, yourself, can find nothing beneficial in it -- you seem to be arguing just to argue.
 
She's guilty! She has to be because she was accused.

She probably is guilty, considering that more than one person accused her, and the people who did accuse her were very specific with the details - dates, places, etc. Do you think she's innocent?

So it weakens and marginalizes other women, just not you.

Yeah, I get it. It was an idiotic statement on your part.

I didn't say it was "beneficial" or not. I'm not the one who's ever made a statement about how it impacts anyone, especially billions of people I don't even know. Like you did. It only impacts the people involved in it. I'm not ignorant enough to make comments about people I don't know. Like you did.

The only thing idiotic is your inability to comprehend. I'm not one of the women who will now not receive mentoring or inclusion in career events because men are leery that women will accuse them without cause. I'm not one of the women who is less likely to have her claims of rape taken seriously because the MeToo'ers created an aura of victimology that undermines real assault. I'm not one of the women who will be viewed as weaker and emotionally unstable because I've accused males of abuse for looking at me crosswise or making catcalls.

Many women, however, will fall into that category. Are you completely daft?

You just interject yourself into issues that don't matter to you?

LOL

Now you're just making me giggle.

I suggest you think before you open your mouth to change feet again.

So in other words, you just made it up. Or it marginalizes and weakens other women, just not you.

You really make some disingenuous posts. I've seen others rip you to shreds for them, and never noticed until this thread exactly why that is.

In the future, don't make stupid broad brush statements about people you don't know, and then you won't be embarrassed, as you were here.

Well, one thing is sure -- you certainly didn't "rip me to shreds." You couldn't even understand the concept, despite the numerous times it was explained to you.

I suggest you steer clear of issues that are over your head. You just make yourself look silly.

Sure I did. You are a woman, you claim to be talking on behalf of other women, and you can't do that. Nobody can. And the smart people here know that.

Like I said, now I know why other posters destroy you in these threads. You're an easy target.

I hope your day gets better. You are woman, hear your roar.
 
But you wanted evidence with Roy Moore?

Never said that. I questioned the evidence provided, that turned out to be forged.

And that's enough of your Russian whataboutism for this thread.
 
She probably is guilty, considering that more than one person accused her, and the people who did accuse her were very specific with the details - dates, places, etc. Do you think she's innocent?

Numerous little girls pointed their fingers at their neighbors in Salem -- do you think those who were accused were guilty because so many told similar stories about them?

Fascinating.

Your horse avatar just took a huge dump in this thread. Anyone with a brain knows that certain things can affect groups of people. Your were given the evidence and it flew over your head.

Like I said, now I know why other posters destroy you in these threads. You're an easy target.

I hope your day gets better. You are woman, hear your roar.


My day is great. I proved my point and you're still flailing around, pretending to know "things" and "stuff."
 
Dude deserves to be heard.

I'm so sorry I made you cry, Howard. I think you must be easily triggered. You're the only person in the free world tinkling her panties because you feel marginalized and weakened by what happened to people you don't even know. I shouldn't have been so mean to you. I hope things get better for you and you don't feel so weak and marginalized anymore. It's a great world out there. Join the strong women in it.

LOL it takes a lot more than an anonymous mouth on a public message board to make me cry. Let's be honest, shall we? You're projecting -- again. I've watched you pull the same thing in numerous threads where you've been bested. You start projecting your feelings of desperation outward -- toward other posters.

It's okay. I think we all know your games.

Here -- have a saucer a milk and take a deep breath.

Sorry I made you cry. You should go on a date tonight or something so you can feel better.

I hope you don't continue to feel weak and marginalized by the actions of strangers on other strangers. That has to suck.
