When Bill Clinton was being persecuted by Ken Starr for perjury involving his sex scandals he coined the term “the politics of personal destruction”. The Kavanaugh hearings should remind us all that the politics of #MeToo has taken on a new and dangerous tone, wreaking havoc and destruction in its path not seen since McCarthyism accused everyone of being a communist. The bodies are piling up, and they are all men.

When questioned by reporters today, Trump said, “It’s a very dangerous time for young men”. He is right, and unwittingly perhaps, has thrust his Supreme Court nominee into the headlights of the #MeToo movement and the politics of personal destruction. The Kavanaugh hearings are a prime example of how #MeToo politics have advocated for the personal destruction and humiliation of men.

This destruction comes in many forms, including false or exaggerated claims of sexual assault, domestic violence, rape hysteria, harassment or fear of male aggression or toxic masculinity. If these crimes were really rampant as the #MeToo movement would like you to believe, there would rape, murder and pillaging at every door of modern society. Societal goal posts as to what constitutes offensive or illegal behavior towards women has moved so far, that any man should be afraid if not deathly afraid that some small and minor offense that he supposedly committed in high school can have you jailed and placed on a sex offender list for life.

#MeToo has done away with the presumption of innocence, replacing it with guilty as charged. The concept of due process, let or alone Constitutional Rights is non-existent in these proceedings. All men who drank beer and groped a woman at a party are now “rapists” and criminals whose lives should be destroyed in Kafkaesque public hearings. The use of the terms “survivor” or “victim” by the media and law enforcement falsely equates allegations of groping at a frat party with those experienced by real survivors of holocausts who were gassed, mutilated or tortured to death.

So long as someone, anyone comes forward – a jaded lover, an ex-girlfriend, a college roommate a high school friend, the #MeToo movement does not care for the consequences or even the process of personal destruction. During the Kavanaugh hearings, “Professor Ford” and democratic senators waited until the last possible time in an “advise and consent” hearing to raise allegations that any man couldn’t possibly disprove with the passage of decades. And as is the case, the allegations have nothing to do with the nominee’s judicial qualifications for office. They were used for political gain by a political party to prevent Trump from getting another conservative on the bench.

If personal destruction or public shaming were not enough, #MeToo movement now routinely censors and blocks male speech. Although it would have been unthinkable in any other time in our democratic history, many forums for men’s speech are intentionally blocked and censored by Google, Amazon and Facebook. Whatever you would think of his views and writings, male activist, Roosh V’s book, “Game” was pulled by Amazon and Barnes and Noble because it supposedly violated policies of offensive content. The same websites sell the “Anarchists Cookbook”, “Mein Kampf” and thousands of dating books for women. The Reddit Red Pill site which had vast quantities of speech and content was recently quarantined and neutered on the Internet because it published content for men lacking a positive sexual identity and strategies for interacting with women.

Dangerous times indeed. Anyone with an Y chromosome is a potential suspect.
