Title: Ted Kennedy and Me Too Movement
Post by: SisterAgatha on January 08, 2018, 05:04:24 AM
You might remember Ted Kennedy?

He was the youngest brother of JFK, and a classic noble statesman, who had a penchant for young  ladies.

Would he have survived the Me too Movement?

Given this: https://www.gq.com/story/kennedy-ted-senator-profile I doubt he would.

A different twist on the Me Too thing.  This one has been only marginally addressed .  https://www.npr.org/2018/01/08/570224090/the-sexual-assault-epidemic-no-one-talks-about?utm_source=npr_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20180108&utm_campaign=breakingnews&utm_term=nprnews

Let's just cut right to the chase here: are you saying that we should allow men to continue sexually abusing women because they always have? Because that's sure what it sounds like.

I hope she/he answers you, PC.  :popcorn:

He/she must be an expert on the Kennedy topic by now.

In your educated opinion, who killed JFK? Was it several gunmen as opposed to Lee Harvey Oswald?

Was it the Mob? The CIA? Cuban Exiles?

If you ask me, the Kennedy family is living proof that the Catholic policy on birth control is correct.

PC if you are addressing me or my recent post , I beseech you to go back and read the whole of it.  The tragedy is that people of diminished capacity are being abused at a substantially higher rate than the more cognitively developed.  That is not acceptable in any case......nor is any other kind of sexual abuse!!!!

No. Im just saying that Ted would have been steamrollerd by the MeToo movement because he and his large extended family have sexually harassed women extensivly in the past.
