Who do you R-E-S-P-E-C-T More? McCain or Aretha?

Oh yes, I can see pure evil in everyone of those pictures. Those women were lucky to survive!
I wonder when showing affection and hugging someone became a Capitol offense.

Big difference between a hug or even a quick smooch, and grabbing a strange woman's pussy...

I guess ppl don't remember the "hugging" fad a few decades ago, when people realized that hugging wasn't the same as mugging, and in fact, makes for a more healthy, happy life, but I guess ppl aren't into any kind of "touching", probably because they were taught as children that "touching" is bad, sex is bad, beware of strangers, etc. Some ppl never grow out of those fears, or have been traumatized (understandable).

Some people just need to grow up and not be so uptight when others express affection or attraction to another person.
There is a line of course.

But being too afraid to accept the touch of another person (even a stranger), only alienates us further from our fellow man. This echoes the lack of trust currently in our culture.

I see this as a generational thing as well as a revived puritanical sense of right and wrong.
Younger generations are used to interacting with ppl via their devices rather than face to face.
Many therefore are socially less experienced and more hesitant to let their guards down.

Many people who are sexually liberated don't see any harm in someone like Biden, or even Trump.
The #metoo movement is just an echo of women's liberation of the '60, when women were free to not wear bras, not get married, not have sex with men, etc.
So they've come a long way, baby!

The problem is women's liberation was never finished. There was a big pushback, esp. on the religious front (remember the Moral Majority?).
So women never really achieved equality and men continued to dominate the power positions in society.

So the #metoo movement succeeded in raising awareness of the imbalance of power between women and men, in a way Women's Lib didn't (thanks to social media).
Women still have far to go, esp in the rest of the world!
