Sorry. I should know better than to get wound up by the daily mail, or Sarah Vine.
Lines like: What started as a WhatsApp group of parliamentary employees swapping notes on their bosses has turned into a mob of aggrieved ‘victims’ claiming a million sexual micro-aggressions against a number of unnamed individuals who, it seems, are not even allowed to know where they are supposed to have overstepped the mark.
Poor menz. Not knowing what constitutes sexual harassment.
Or perhaps that depends on your point of view. Because there is a strong cultural and generational element to this, too. Most of the accused are over 40; most of the accusers are in their 20s. In other words, it’s the revenge of the millennials, many of whom will have had their senses of humour surgically removed at university.
Riiight. So anyone who is harassed, doesn’t have a sense of humour if they don’t laugh it off?
Like that stupid ‘Metoo’ hashtag that started trending after the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke, these are not real expressions of emancipation: they are empty, attention-seeking gestures
I tweeted about my rape. I can assure you it wasn’t attention seeking.
AIBU to be sad that some women, like sarah, feel like this?
God, we have along way to go.
