Extremes of #MeToo

Someone wrote to say I exaggerated the lunacy of Cristina Fallarás’s #MeTootery. So I brought proof. Here’s the famous Instagram message she posted, unleashing a media barrage that led to the resignation of a Spanish MP:

I had been warned about his treatment of women, but given his political position I couldn’t believe that was true, so I still continued. He is a psychological abuser. This is the dynamic he uses: be extremely nice initially to hook you. When he sees that he has achieved something, the rudeness and gaslighting begin (it’s always you who doesn’t understand the MP). In the afternoon he shows you affection and even makes relationship proposals to you and two hours later he throws you out of his house.

The MP is far-far-left. He claimed that people eat better in Venezuela than in Spain, and long lines for food are simply a result of Venezuelans being more sociable and choosing to hang out. So good riddance to that loser.

But look at the accusation that Fallarás posted and promoted. As much as the MP in question sucks, it’s not a good reason to normalize persecution of people because a casual date begins to pout. This is truly insane. There’s no person alive whom somebody didn’t find rude at some point or other. You can be the virginest virgin and a recluse, yet there will still be somebody who will feel slighted by you.

  1. The reason Errejón, the MP in question, had to leave was that he had on previous occasions reiterated that there are no false accusations when they are made by women.

    Since here was a woman accusing him of not being terribly nice and of manipulating here into… the matter is under investigation so I’ll say no more – he had no choice but to resign and leave politics altogether and this was the least that was expected of him by his far-far-left brothers and sisters…

    1. I totally agree the bastard deserves it. But it’s very concerning that we have a whole country where such accusations aren’t mocked to death and are instead taken seriously.
