John Wallek, plumbing and heating inspector for the state's Public Safety Department, faces charges of stalking a much younger woman also employed by the state. Wallek harassed the woman at work, at home and online, messaging her with E-mails and Facebook posts for about a year, even after being told to stop.
For some reason, the Freeps interviewed Wallek, who stated, "It's all kind of bizarre. I just don't believe it has gone this far."
Look, folks — it's an embodiment of rape culture! Only in a society in which women are presumed heterosexual and automatically available to all types of attention from men, only in a society in which women's consent means diddly squat because, so many times, they are presumed to have granted it merely by existing, only in such a society would a man think that his possible conviction for being a misogynist ass would be "kind of bizarre" because it's going against the unstated expectations of man-woman interaction in this society.
Jeez, how "bizarre" is it that a woman wants to be treated with egalitarian respect and decency? It's mind-boggling. It's almost like…almost like…women are people too! Imagine that.

“I just don’t believe it has gone this far.”
…what, you mean your outrageously unsociable behavior to another human being, or the fact that the law, on occasion, attempts to enforce the idea that we aren’t, in fact, SUPPOSED to treat other human beings so abominably?
Because, you know, the first you could have totally checked yourself on at any time. And the second? Doesn’t happen even a fraction as often as it should, granted, but seriously, you do have to at least CONSIDER the POSSIBILITY of legal intervention when you, you know, choose to engage in illegal activities.
