Subject: Man Bites Dog in #MeToo Movement

Written By: LyricBoy on 02/09/18 at 6:08 pm

In a rather shocking reversal of fortune, one of the people behind the "Me Too" movement, California Democrat Christina Garcia, now stands accused of grabbing the 'nards of young male staffers.

I will wait for this to be verified by other news outlets.

No need to wait. The news wires are in flames over this deal. Here are a few more links.

The fact that she would even participate in this movement when she has done those things is disgusting. I hope this doesn't make people think differently of this movement.

This reminds me of when I was 16 and an old granny slapped by butt to get my attention. I was at a commuter bus/train station, so she asked me to help load her luggage onto the bus, which I did. Afterwards she said "You're so sweet, let me give you a kiss!" I got the hell out of there ;D #MeToo

My aunt and cousins still tease me for it.  :\'(

Well, despite the truth that certainly exists with the issue, it also has its share of grandstanders too.

It just goes to show that hypocrisy knows no shape, size, color or gender

It's an old granny, she wanted to give you a kiss on the cheek it's not like she was going to rape you.

I know Howard, I was recounting a funny story that's tangentially related to what's in the OP :P (young employee being groped by his old lady boss)

I did not wished to be kissed nor have my butt touched  8-P

I can't help but think about what would happen if the genders were reversed. Imagine an old guy slapping a 16 year girl's butt and then trying to kiss her.

But it was still an unwanted advance, and just because the gender roles were reversed doesn't make it right. Clearly the woman violated Slowpoke's boundaries without his permission and it creeped him out.

I mean, if some old lady that you didn't know just out of the blue grabbed your ass and then asked you to kiss her (especially if you were 16), wouldn't you be creeped out by it too?  ???

Cooties do not discriminate. They're just looking for a good, lush thicket of old-growth forest where they can burrow in and get all nice and warm and cozy, and they don't care if it lies at the base of Mount Baldy or the rim of the Grand Canyon.

Indeed. As I recall, Colonel Angus would rest his head at Shady Thicket.
