People talk a lot on social media and blogs and in comments about Peak 2018. And there always seems to be something the following week, day, or even hour that is more peak. We might have an actual contender for true Peak 2018, especially since we are closing in on the end of the year
Men now afraid to give women CPR in fear of being accused of sexual assault and #MeToo
An article on Yahoo stated that researcher had surveyed people regarding CPR and their attitude when it comes to giving women CPR. The researchers, from the University of Colorado, had reported that many of the interviewees stated they feared giving a woman CPR because they would not want to be accused of touching them inappropriately or accused of sexual assault.
This is not good news for a woman who might suffer a heart attack or any other medical issue and require CPR on the spot to save them. Some call this the side effect of the #MeToo movement.
The Yahoo article stated, “Men were twice as likely to cite this fear as a reason for not administering CPR, the researchers found.”
Study lead author Sarah Perman of the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver, said: ‘The consequences of all of these major themes is that women will potentially receive no CPR or delays in initiation of CPR.
It doesn’t get any worse than this, does it? Especially since women are also afraid to give CPR to women lest they be accused of inappropriate touching, as the article notes
The real fear is that the accusation alone could ruin someone’s life, because even after someone is proven innocent, the damages are already done.
When the accusations fly, the media covers them heavily. When the result is that the accused is proven innocent, there is little fanfare, and brings up the old saying “where do I go to get my reputation back?” It’s entirely too easy nowadays to make an accusation on some Internet platform, once which is one-sided and gets tons of likes and traction. But are often false or blown up from an anthill to Mt. Everest.
And the #MeToo 3rd Wave feminists have no one to blame but themselves.
