Sex‘witchhunt’

Anti-communist hysteria in 1950s America allowed Senator Joe Mccarthy to accuse leading figures of treason without any regard for the legal process.

His inquisition was more damaging to US democracy than a few communists ever could have been, and the #Metoo movement is an equally unpleasant cult.

I was pleased to see the French newspaper Le Monde publish an open letter from the actress Catherine Deneuve and other distinguished French women criticising this detestable form of feminism for hating men and sexuality and being fronted by a luvvie clique who appeared the Golden Globes in black outfits.

As in Britain’s Great Celebrity Witchhunt – now imploding under the weight of its own absurdity – well-known men in public life have been destroyed merely by being accused of historic sex crimes by a motley crew of “victims” – some in it for the money while others are little more than publicity-seeking fantasists.
