You're breaking my cold turkey about "political" threads, but I can't believe no one challenged you on this:
So, Feminism caused McCarthyism, the Salem witch trials, the Spanish Inquisition (I bet you didn't expect that one) and "thou shalt not bear false witness"?
I dunno, Occh, you sound like you're just parroting apocolyptic right-wing liberal-scapegoating types. I'm surprised you didn't use the term "Feminazi", because the idea you expressed is on that same level. All those who have worked to improved life by social change during the last 40 years can be blamed for all the ills of society? That's not just no, that's NOOOOOO.
Given your posting history, I cannot believe that even though you tend to make anti-liberal posts, you aren't just a run-of-the-mill ReBorglican who repeats what he hears on radio or Fox. So, I am going to give you a break and assume that the "addition" didn't mean the "accusation equals guilt" but "sexual harassment".
If that's what you meant, I wouldn't shed tears for the American male, especially the Star Athlete.
Women have had to live with "accusation means guilt" for thousands of years, perhaps now that it applies to everyone, people will see how bad the lynch mob is and stop judging others so rashly.
Or not. Human nature doesn't seem to change -- it just picks new victims.

Thank you, Feminism gone bad, for that addition to our culture.
