#MeToo is a menace to private life

I saw a comment (either to this article or one similar) that basically said men need to "man up"; that they were tired of all the "male tears"; and that "real men" should be able to "take a shaming" because it is important to "have a dialogue on bad sex."

--And by "have a dialogue" she means women airing men's alleged dirty laundry for the entire world to see.

A private date can ruin your work life now.

I found this article referenced in the feminism reddit:

http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/sexual-harassment-women-life-career-ruined-deserved-adam-blampied-youtube-a8167751.html

It is embarrassing to read this male feminist self flagellate himself over his morally dubious but still entirely legal sexual behavior. He would be better off just shutting up. But anyhow a couple quotes stood out:

and sometimes abusing the relative power of my celebrity in order to negotiate an initial No into a Yes.

For the first time in a life of constant insecurity, I had leverage. Suddenly, I had the negotiating power – as I saw it – to turn a No into a Yes. I got to experience what more self-confident men than I had been “enjoying” for years, riding roughshod over what women wanted in pursuit of what I thought I could gain for myself, and I’m deeply ashamed that I indulged.

So attempting to change an initial "no" into a "yes" through argument and persuasion is now regarded as abusive. The argument here is that women are so vulnerable to coercion that you only get to ask for sex once, and if she says no you don't get to ask again without it becoming abusive.
