“No right to be assumed harmless”: more on men and suspicion

 You knew it would come to this. Being male is now a sin. In and of itself, being male now officially brands you as a rapist and you can be freely discriminated against. At least, it would and will if the psycho feminists and the self hating men of this land have anything to say about it.

Oh and if you don’t agree it’s only because your too “entitled” to realize you’re scum. Don’t blame the paranoid freaks who fear you by the way – blame other men! It’s all the rage and you can get lots of hairy legged tail.

While “innocent until proven guilty” is an excellent guideline for courtroom proceedings, it doesn’t translate nearly as effectively into public life and relations between the sexes.  When men complain that women are suspicious of their intentions merely because they are men, they are forcing women into the role of the district attorney, the one shouldered with the burden of proving guilt.  In a society where women, rather than men, are overwhelmingly the victims of harassment and assault, those who have suffered most are the ones being asked to lay aside their prior experience and knowledge and approach each new male in their lives with a blank slate, free from judgment.   That’s a hell of a weight to ask women to carry, and a hell of a risk to ask them to take, again and again and again.

In our culture, where rape and harassment and abuse are so common, men have lost the right (if it ever existed) to insist that women should be able to differentiate (in a matter of seconds) between the harmless and the threatening.   A man is entitled to a presumption of innocence from a jury in a courtroom, but not from his classmate with whom he tries to strike up what she ought to know is just an innocent conversation!
