Listen, there are some very hairy things happening in this world.
Do I want to be “famous”? In my class? At parties?
Handy for having a beer, but not so hard if “famous” means “thoughtful
and justifiable use of your talents as a public servant.”
The thing with #MeToo is that sexual harassment has almost become a
constitutional matter, like the oath of office on the Indiana flag.

A recent study reveals some interesting sociological research that
shows that #MeToo is really only about a woman saving a man from
fatalizing himself.
Liked: The research focuses on 4 real men who have been stalked and
their strategies to escape that bad boy for decades. I’m not going to
browsing through it to dig into the real stories or bad boy anecdotes,
but here’s what you can get out of it if you like looking at demographics.
What I did is I’ve transcribed four of the stories, and I then took
those statements and I took away the few that have a definitive,
definitive, word for word statement of lack of empathy and awareness.
Then I took away a number of completely self-serving statements. I
then put a number of statements under a number of heads and put a
number of those in that number of statements.
In this study, there were 197 potential men so I’ve kept them in order to
be able to tell you I was working, but a few things turned up.
Among these seven men were three men who have lived by the motto of
“Don’t let this happen to you.” The following are just a few of the
following, some are original submissions, the names are very private,
but I’m not going there; they won’t be all for public consumption.
