To be perfectly honest, I hope this guy is innocent. And I also hope they nail his ass to the wall. He has been one of the leading voices behind this whole believe the accuser thing at all costs argument. For him to come out now and say "well it doesn't count when it's me", would be the height of hypocrisy. So he needs to go ahead and accept his fate. To fight it now only makes him a bigger hypocrite.

Please, stop. My schadenboner can only get so hard.

What Should Michael Kimmel do? Model what he would like others accused of sexual harassment to say by:

Acknowledge and believe the survivor even if their account does not fit with his sense of self. Remember that he has power, and the accuser likely has any. Their career is on the line as much, if not more than his.

Remember: Facts don't matter to these people. Reason does not matter to these people. Their first question is always one of power, or rather who is the Oppressor and who is the Oppressed.

Work on ensuring that in future interactions that people who work with him, particularly those with less power (in this case, graduate students and junior scholars) feel comfortable and safe.

Feelings....nothing more than feelings. This is emotional blackmail: You should live in fear that someone else might have an negative emotion. Are you comfortable? Do you feel safe? Do you have good bellyfeels? Because it's all about you. Fuck that. The only duty I have to you is to speak truthfully and reasonably. Your feelings are your own business. You are not a child and I have no obligation to you calm you down when you cry.

For others accused who are unfamiliar with how sexual harassment and gender-based violence operate, I would suggest starting there. In this case, Kimmel is an expert, but can notice the ways in which these dynamics play out in practice within his own interactions. No one is immune from gendered (or racialized, classed, ableist, etc.) ways of being in the world. We are socialized into them.

Verily, all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of WYMYN. All are racist, classist, ableist, etc. and in desperate of Feminism to save their corrupted souls.

Or something.

Help develop a restorative justice practice for our field so that we can all move in a healthier way forward.

Restorative justice = Eternal branding and penance for 'sinners' against feminism. No thanks.

Connect with others to change the culture within academic sociology that allows harassment to flourish. As Sociologist Eric Grollman pointed out, this is a problem throughout our discipline.

Change the culture = Die Kulturkampf. The obsession with 'culture' is a fixation on controlling not just the behavior of others, but on controlling how people think. It is this idea of influence and nudging as opposed to reason and discourse. Feminists and sociologists want to change/control culture because, not only are they incapable of reason and discourse, they view their prospective victims as being unworthy of reason and discourse. To them, you do not have the right to your own mental autonomy. They know better than you.

OBEY.

Good thing. These pathetic morons are traitor to their own gender. Their fall will fuel mgtow further.

I knew it! I knew it! Knew it! Nobody white knights that hard without some dark motivation.

Did he invite a girl to his room? What a nincompoop.

Being an “ally” is just painting a target on your back

Eidolon3436 · 2018-08-04T21:20:15+00:00

Well he's a male progressive. And a sociologist.

Fuck him
