Another story has dropped of a #MeToo-inspired destruction of a guy with a fancy job. It’s only men (and extremely rarely women) with coveted jobs that are targeted by #MeTootery because nobody else attracts the eager whoredom of #MeTootie victims.
Asher was a star: the acclaimed author of four novels, including the internationally best-selling Thirteen Reasons Why, which had been adapted into a hit Netflix show that was about to release its second season…
Asher has never been formally accused, in any forum, of harassing or harming a woman—nor ever investigated, let alone found guilty, for such an offense. But he has lost pretty much everything—not just his identity as an author but his agent, his publisher, his livelihood, and his reputation. His marriage is over. He’s been virtually unemployable since it happened, he says (do an internet search for his name and you’ll understand why) and his life savings are gone.
Asher didn’t harass anybody. He didn’t act violently towards any woman. What he did do was have an affair with a woman on whom he cheated with a bunch of other women while cheating with all of them on his wife. In short, he treated women like disposable toilets for decades until one of the toilets finally shat back on him. They all deeply deserve each other.
The idea that women crave being ejaculated into and discarded has proven to be a lie. Who could have possibly guessed? Asher violated the gods of consent by fibbing to his mistresses. I don’t know if he’s learned anything from this but if he did, I hope it’s that consent is a terrible guide to morality.
The problem is that we still collectively can’t say this honestly. Instead, we throw around accusations of rape and harassment. It’s the general dishonesty of our sexual philosophy as a society that caused #MeToo. Women like Asher’s mistresses, of whom he had about a platoon-sized troop, pretended to “just want sex”, and Asher pretended to believe them and never asked himself why none of these women “just wanted sex” with any married janitors or unemployed guys. Neither he nor they deserve compassion. They play these stupid games and we are all on the hook because we are the ones who have to sit through endless harassment trainings when we all live in extremely faithful, happy marriages.
