Let’s imagine a scenario where a man is at his workplace. He walks by a female coworker and slaps her on the butt. That is an immediate case for his dismissal and prosecution as a sexual offender in a sexual harassment case. I find that to be a clear-cut case of a deviant forcing his odd behavior on an unsuspecting and unwilling victim. We have the right to not be touched in a sexual way by someone who we don’t feel attracted to. Now, if the same scenario plays, this time with a woman slapping the butt of a man, do the same rules apply? I don’t think so. Women constantly get away with that kind of behavior, kicking the principle of equality of the sexes in the shin. This behavior exhibited by people who have no concept of personal space is a deviant behavior. I’m not referring to friends who play pranks on each other and have a history together that warrants this kind of action. I’m talking about coworkers who have a working relationship.

I was a born and bred city kid, that was the only life I knew. But no matter how prepared you are for the what if’s and the maybes, when someone comes at you in broad daylight… the fear that clouded my mind was unbearable. I was…
For anyone unaware of the current political situation here in America, President Trump has backed to the hilt his nominee for the supreme court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, despite all of the news circulating about Kavanaugh’s sordid past not just with women, but with alcohol abuse among other concerns. Now, the one thing I will agree with Trump is that it should be innocent until proven guilty instead of guilty until proven innocent; however, I figure this is how men have treated women for how many hundreds of years so it’s about time they get a taste of how the other half lives. In this piece, I will be reflecting upon my experiences and thoughts during the hearings and news coverage (for context, my news coverage rader is from BBC World News, NPR politics podcasts, CNN, MSNBC, and a bit of FOX just to round out all of the potential biases so I can see a story from as many perspectives as possible).
