petros,
But it is! They're all over social media scolding everyone and anything that is remotely outside of the PC box. Just look at today's Universities as well.

Cordy,
My father was a wonderful person. However, he smoked in the car when we were young...never put seatbelts on us...and gave me the odd cuff once in a blue moon when I got out of line.
By today's ridiculous moral standards he'd be viewed as a monster. And nothing could be further from the truth.

It was the end of the odd cuff for being an idiots that created the limp, spineless, Godless, brain dead Millennials.
OK, we aren't getting each other then. You think that today's moral standards are ridiculous, so you obviously wouldn't judge the past by them. That's fine. I'm arguing that there's nothing wrong with judging the past on moral standards not held at the time. Generally that means "today's moral standards" but really it could just mean your personal moral standards.
There's no point in having moral standards if they are relative.
I was saying in my own offbeat way, that it's ridiculous to label my father a monster based on today's moral standards.
I'm not one to bring up imagined pain inflicted against me when i was young, by my father's generation, just because I perhaps haven't realized my full potential. I come from a generation that takes responsibility for it's own doings.

Only unreasonable people would.
Do you think this is what Millennials do? Or a better question: do you think this is exclusive to Millennials?
I believe the #metoo movement is part and parcel of the Snowflake Generation. They've never been taught how to deal with adversity or failure.
"I don't have it all right now, so somebody is to blame!"
"I don't have it all right now, so somebody is to blame!"
Or perhaps when you scratch the surface, it's really about people who never lived up to their own potential, bringing down those who did.
Of course, because your immediate reaction to the idea that a woman is sexually assaulted is that she's bitter about not living up to her potential. That's part of the problem. That's why it's necessary to start speaking out so people like you don't enable sexual assault because you can't be arsed to confront uncomfortable truths. You act like you're all about dealing with reality and being a tough guy that can handle adversity, but you stick your head in the sand every time something challenges your comfort zone. Toughen up, snowflake.
Or perhaps I'm just bringing up another side to the movement...an uncomfortable truth that YOU are unable to handle.
That's not a side of the movement. Blaming women for the sex crimes committed against them is the status quo. It's being confronted head on.
The initial cause of the movement was correct. But the pendulum has swung too far the other way.
"Kent Hehr called me 'yummy' in an elevator ten years ago, when i was ONLY 25 years old!"
Wtf? Gimme a break already.

There's a difference between dismissing accusations as unsubstantial and what you're doing with your pop psychoanalysis saying it's because an entire generation of people can't cope with failure.
