Dateline: NY CITY—Software engineer Timmy Whatawuss alleged on
social media that he was sexually assaulted by his female employer, Olga
Pololga, and has been met with laughter from all quarters.
Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of women have accused
powerful men in America of sexually harassing or assaulting them. In fact,
there is no powerful American male deemed never to have taken advantage of his
authority and exploited at least one of his female employees’ dependence, in some
perverted manner.
Every executive or celebrity in Hollywood, stand-up comedy,
government, Wall Street, and all other sectors in which wealth or power is
concentrated in male hands has been accused by one or more female underlings of
offering them financial compensation or promising them advancement at work for
sexual favours.
These allegations have led to widespread condemnation of so-called
Boy’s Club culture. Powerful men have been ostracized, fired, or prosecuted. In
many cases, a woman’s mere coming forward with an allegation of a man’s
unwanted sexual advances sufficed to damage the man’s reputation, so that the
woman felt no further inquiry was needed and no charges needed to be pressed.
This revolution in American sexual relations encouraged Mr.
Whatawuss to test the waters with his astonishing claim that a woman could
sexually harass a man.
“First, I took my complaints to my boss’s superior, Steve
Strittmatter. I told him Olga Pololga sexually assaulted me by stroking my
penis in the hallway. He looked at me from across his desk and burst out
laughing.
“So I announced on Facebook and Twitter that my female boss
molested me by rubbing her boobs in my face and giving me a lap dance even
though I told her ‘No.’ The responses were unanimous: laughter all around. I
mean that literally I got hundreds of messages saying nothing but
‘Hahahahaha!!’ The messages varied the number of ‘ha’s or exclamation points,
but they were certainly united in their mockery of me.
“I took the matter to the police and filed a report, but the
whole time the police couldn’t stop laughing. The officer who typed up the file
was crying on the keyboard he was laughing so hard.”
But Mr. Whatawuss had proof of his ordeal, since he had
recorded some of his employer’s threats and unwanted advances, and he posted
them on YouTube.
“Again,” said Mr. Whatawuss, “just laughter. That was the
only response. All the comments under the video were variations of ‘Hahahaha!’ or
“Hardy har har!” or ‘Heh heh heh.’ Several response videos were posted by other
YouTube users, and all of them showed the men or women who posted them laughing
hysterically. One female Youtuber fell off her chair, she was laughing so hard.
The video shows her struggling to get back up and then promptly falling off her
chair again in uproarious laughter.”
For her part, Mrs. Pololga has admitted to molesting Timmy
Whatawuss. “Of course I did it,” she told reporters. “Why shouldn’t I admit it?
No one can do anything about a woman’s sexual assault of a man, because you
can’t do anything else while you’re laughing your ass off hearing or thinking about
it.”
Her prediction proved accurate, because while attempting to
televise Mrs. Pololga’s confession, reporters erupted with laughter, knocked
over their equipment, and broadcast only dead air.
Feminist ethicists have rarely debated whether it’s possible
for a woman to sexually assault a man. They contend that while this sort of
assault is logically and perhaps even physically possible, such an offense
would be highly unlikely in practice because men tend to have more power than
women, and women are more interested in emotional connections than in random,
meaningless sexual encounters.
The only published philosophical article on the subject begins
with three pages of dry analysis before cutting away midsentence and proceeding
to four pages of continuous “Ahahahahaha!” as though the author could no longer
take the issue seriously.
“Even attempting to discuss the matter is nearly infeasible,”
said Dr. Nick Flabbergast. “As soon as you picture a powerful woman sexually
assaulting her male subordinate, you break into side-splitting laughter. This comical
reaction appears to be an evolutionary mechanism urging us not to waste time on
silly nonsense.”
To test that hypothesis, Dr. Flabbergast and his team ran an
experiment in which powerful, authoritative women were hired to sexually
assault young men in a controlled setting, and in each case the men broke down
in laughter while the attempted assaults were in progress.
“In one instance,” said Dr. Flabbergast, “one of our female
subjects demanded that the young man just stand there and watch while she
pulled down her pants and masturbated. The man attempted to comply but began to
snicker as soon as her pants were down. When she made small circular motions
with her finger under her underpants, he roared with laughter. ‘How does it
feel to be degraded, you worm?’ she taunted him. But the young man couldn’t
answer because he’d curled up into a ball on the floor where he was rolling
back and forth, busting his gut laughing at her.
“The woman was persistent, so she picked him up and demanded
he just stand there and take the abuse. He laughed in her face. She sat on him
and berated him, threatening to rape him unless he stopped laughing so hard. He
pissed his pants while howling with laughter, and had to be carried out and
sedated.”
