| Sarah Hoyt: Knowing Them By Their Fruits |
| 2018-10-12 |
| Yesterday in the comments, there was a discussion about the bitter fruits of #metoo. And it made me wonder exactly what else was supposed to happen. Sure, in many industries women are treated shamefully. This is usually the kind of industry ‐ like writing used to be, like literature still is, like academia, I’m sure, also is ‐ that is afflicted by oligopsony. I.e. there is only one buyer (the gate keeper) but far more suppliers than could possibly be bought. In such a market it quickly becomes known that the reason you’re being bought or rejected is not just the quality of your work. |

| #3 Amen. Will NOT meet in private with a female without a witness or door wide open. No after-hours ESPECIALLY |

| #2 The end state of feminism has become the death knell of traditional heterosexual interactions on so many levels. I would never go to evening mixers now without my spouse under any circumstances, and one-on-one meetings of any kind are taboo. In my career I genuinely mentors a number of females without the hint of sexual interest, despite several being easy on the eyes. But today, verboten! In the long run, this will create stovepipes of gender-linked management within the public and private sector. Utterly tragic for meritocracy management. |

| #1 Look, in the States, in our day and age, no woman my age or older has experienced "patriarchy" nor anything resembling patriarchy at large. "patriarchy" is their short hand for Western Civilization. Is this what was intended? Destruction of Western Civ? Yes. |
