    "html": "<blockquote>\n<p>I think middle school was always h*ll on Earth, but I didn\u00e2\u0080\u0099t know how bad it could be until eighteen girls bullied my son by using the school authorities as weapons.</p>\n<p>If the rule is \u00e2\u0080\u009cdon\u00e2\u0080\u0099t fight\u00e2\u0080\u009d and \u00e2\u0080\u009cif I feel uncomfortable, I\u00e2\u0080\u0099ll go to the authorities\u00e2\u0080\u009d clever bullies are always capable of running to the authorities with stories, real, invented or exaggerated. In the case of my son they were wholly invented, and to boot these girls were perpetrating violence on him out of sight of the authorities. (Which I only know because I accidentally observed it.) BUT the authorities believed it was possible to completely suppress violence, and that the physical side of it was the only violence, and that a big, strong male must be at fault, always.</p>\n<p>We\u00e2\u0080\u0099ve seen what the \u00e2\u0080\u009cdon\u00e2\u0080\u0099t fight\u00e2\u0080\u009d and \u00e2\u0080\u009cuse the authorities as whips instead\u00e2\u0080\u009d has done in our society at all levels. The male is always guilty and always suspect, but women can make up things out of whole cloth and no one questions it, because \u00e2\u0080\u009cthey\u00e2\u0080\u0099re not violent.\u00e2\u0080\u009d</p>\n<p>This puts power in the hands of women and men of a certain stripe: the weasels, the tale bearers, the plausible liars, the yellow streaks of sh*t, who would never face another man (or woman) in the full light of day, but who will lie and connive their way to the top.</p>\n<p>This way, anti-bullying initiatives become bullying. Someone was discussing on FB how the Goodreads \u00e2\u0080\u009canti-bullying\u00e2\u0080\u009d groups come down like a ton of bricks on any author trying to defend his book, or anyone else trying to protect himself from group evisceration.</p>\n<p>Same as it\u00e2\u0080\u0099s ever been. Take away physical weapons, and people will use the authorities as physical weapons. (And psychological ones too, which is worse.)</p>\n</blockquote>\n<p>So let's stop thinking of the ladies as being above reproach, and above being questioned about their stories.
