MeToo is Killing the Sexual Revolution
It seems now that the Sexual Revolution has finally come full circle. And we can thank the #metoo movement for putting one of the final nails in that coffin. It turns out that there is indeed trouble in that paradise known as the mixed-gender workplace, and mixed public life in general.
It doesn't take a genius to notice that when you mix adult men and women in public and semi-public spaces, there is going to get a lot of sexual tension. Women will be getting unwanted (or simply awkward) sexual advances from men. And likewise, we get women taking advantage of men's easily-exploitable sexual desires by using their sexuality to gain special favors and treatment from male co-workers and bosses. This is a simple fact of life and no shrill ideology can negate what naturally happens when we mixed the sexes in such an amorphous manner. Predictably, the SJWs and PC crowd are trying to pin all the blame on men. Because that's the silver bullet scapegoat answer their ideology demands; nuance and reason be damned. Never once does it cross their minds that women might play a large role in these problems too.
The Sexual Revolution was originally a revolt against the old religious mores and sexual restrictions. In reality its ideals squarely clash with the natural reality of sexual dimorphism and human sexuality in general; the nature of human sexuality is that men chase and women choose. There is no such thing as "free love." Any notion of that was a complete lie from the getgo.
So it looks like the experiment failed and we'll be going back to having a firm set of rules to regulate conduct between the sexes in public. What those rules might entail or what ideology or set of ethical values shapes those rules, is anyone's best guess at this point. All we know now though is that there is trouble in paradise and the promised sexual utopia ended up being a total farce and yet another failed utopian delusion.
