If a straight, white, 'Cis' male has to attend classes on how not to rape, because it's in his very essence, prior to undertaking university classes - why isn't that very essence in others?
Rather than accept that there are bad people in all walks of life and opportunists will use good faith and charitable measures to their benefit to gain access to, and mask accusations of, their bad behaviour - why are majority regular men the punching bag for all these 'academics' who apparently can use objective judgement and reflective discourse with apparent authority?
This isn't rocket science, heck it's not even a crayon drawing roughly resembling a rocket.
It's because the people making those accusations actually ARE like that
Ewan McGregor is the easiest and my go to example. During birds of prey he wouldnt shut up even for second about empowering women and men respecting women and this movie is about women who don't need no man and how men need to LEARN to not be so awful to women.
The entire time he's cheating on his wife with Huntress.
The only way to assuage their guilt is to declare their failures to just be human nature. Ah how sublime and enlightened. I'm not a bad person because I do these things, I'm WOKE because I RECOGNIZE my evil. I am of course far better than those who claim to be innocent of my degenerative excess because I ADMIT to it, while they pretend to need no penance. I must INFORM the masses of their evil. And how else could I be expected to gain all this knowledge without participating in cochise fueled piss orgies.
Noticing someone is pretty, even enjoying casual conversation in a flirtive manner is fine to some degree. That's what people do.
The boundaries are thinking about them and/or engaging in activities solely with them. That's how you can end up cheating because you are knowingly walking into territory you are ill at ease with. He knew he was wrong only in his own mind and heart.
Now hopefully he and Scott Pilgrim's ex keep it going for life but she'll never fully trust him, he'll always doubt himself and his ex-wife, and children, has been devastated for trusting in in him.
His trying to offset this only people who had no hand in his choices is only another sign of him knowing that he's done wrong. His hatred of men is simply a hatred of himself.
These other ones, I think they are far worse than a man who lost his way and feels for it. Yes, he's foolish for thrashing it out with people who haven't done him or others wrong. But I reckon he knows he let himself down.
The ones who are blatantly ignoring that fact that there are bad gay/trans/tall/short/left-handed/green-eyed/etc. people are the ones with something much darker to hide and they are the collective hegemony of culture at politics at the moment.
That is who we need to strip of apparent authority by using reason.
But fuck reasoning through social media, even under Musk's watch making it easier.
I think you're missing the point. They're the same people. Obi wan didn't "loose his way" he's a spoiled silver spoon fuck.
It's the "who's most evil" question constrained by scope. The only reason Ewan DOESNT kill babies is because it doesn't turn him on. If it did, he would find a way to justify doing it just like he justifies fucking a co star. His self restraint is zero, and so he imagines the rest of humanity is as weak and feckless as him.
It's the same broad formed principle across leftism. They want to teach men not to rape because they recognize that the only thing keeping THEM from raping people is socialization away from it, not any actual moral fiber. In this way they are morally equivalent to being a rapist. There's no moral point scored by being satisfied or placate when "lesser evil"
Writ large. The only reason leftys judge the Holocaust as an evil is because they think that the Jews didnt deserve it. Not that no human does. They view it as a misdirected atrocity, not an evil act by definition.
Which is a far more disturbing and dangerous framework.
All that to say, I don't think he "let himself down" or "lost his way" I think he's just as depraved and evil. His failure to live up to "greater evil" is just a lack of imagination.

You don't have to go far into the Lefty-sphere to see calls for all of [Particular group] to be killed. Trump/JK Rowling/Travis Kelce fans are prime examples of being targeted by people who claim to be all "Peace and love" or at the most "Cope and seethe". Check out the recently rejected armistice after the vaccines were proven to be mistakes.
That all said, a man can do wrong and feel bad for it. That feeling can be confused and eventually lead to the dark side. I just hope Ewan isn't so lost ;)

Data, interpret, publish. React, query, adjust, repeat.
Either everyone goes into re-education camps (And who decides what's on those curricula?) or they don't work.
Back in the 1980's is was popularly circulated that rape wasn't about sex, it was about power.
Here we are 40 years later, stripped of all heteronormative notions or procreation, and it's still about power.
Maybe they were onto something back then.

Yeah, but the thing is he did cheat.

Tl;Dr Hang em high.
I like what you are saying, particularly:
