There is a feeling of the French Revolution building around these recent sexual harassment revelations and repercussions. Like then, the public opinion guillotine is now working overtime to remedy the past sins of a hoard of sexual predators. Heads are being lopped off with gay abandon to atone for a rash of male on female peccadilloes ... from ass pinching to forcible rape. The blood lust is palpable and rampant ... and suddenly the culprits are being led in donkey carts to their career beheadings. I won't again count the corpses in this blog post ... you know who they are ... but the putrid pile is surely going to grow further.
This social blood lust, it seems to me, is a kind of atonement for what has become an open season on women. And this open season, again it seems to me, is a consequence of how forgiving this country has been to the decades of over-the-top sexual predation by Bill Clinton ... as well as a clan puzzlingly tolerance of sports celebrities acting like sultans with their odalisques .... birthing many children from many women without blowback. The more wealthy and powerful these men, the more outrageous their behavior. Many men of consequence have therefore concluded, "If they all can do it, why not me?"
Well the fun and games have been had ... and it is now time to pay the piper. So, all over America, from Hollywood to D.C. to NYC, men (and maybe a few women) are wondering, "Am I next? Is the donkey cart next coming to take me to that public-opinion guillotine?"
