If you ever amount to something in this life and become rich, famous or perhaps even semi-rich/semi-famous, there is a very good chance that some of the women you have dated, hit on or spoken to at some point in your life will accuse you of sexual assault or harassment. The bar has been set so low that literally every heterosexual man qualifies.
Look at some of the allegations being made against politicians lately, and in particular Al Franken. Now I’m no fan of Al Fraken; the guy is an opportunistic POS like most politicians. Until his recent problems, he was going around lecturing his political opponents about “vulnerable women” and the evil men who abuse them. Men like him are the reason why our society is so messed up in the first place, and he’s now burning in his self-made holocaust. I feel absolutely zero sympathy for him. However, his case serves to illustrate a point. Some of the “harassment” allegations about Franken are downright bizarre. Take, for example, a woman who approached Franken and asked for a photograph.

She says that he put his hand around her waist and it “diminished” her as a professional woman. Ummm, what? How do you take a picture with a woman without putting your hand around her waist? Stand there awkwardly with your hands in your pockets or folded across your chest? Interestingly enough, the woman in question has no problem putting her own hand on Franken's shoulder.
Others have accused Franken of touching their buttocks or, in the case of one woman, “cupping the side of her breast” while taking photographs. Now I can totally see how this could happen accidentally, especially if the woman has a big butt or big breasts and you’re just trying to put your arm around her for a picture.
So it seems that the standard for assault/harassment now is whether a woman feels “diminished” or demeaned or otherwise uncomfortable as a result of her interactions with a man. And the worst thing is that you can be accused 10, 20, 30, 40 years later, and even if the allegations are not true, you’d have no way to prove your innocence, as there would be no witnesses after all these years, and, according to the prevailing dogma, we are supposed to believe “survivors” of sexual harassment without questioning their motivations.
