We have permitted the prissy preachers of permissiveness to take control of the nation’s morality and it needs to return to biblical standards. When there is an absence of or very limited pornography, sexually explicit books, magazines, and television shows there is more kindness, peace, and cooperation among our people. With ubiquitous sex being used and abused, our nation is a sleazy, sex-absorbed nation in need of a genuine revival of godliness.

In this battle against male sexual aggression of women, we must differentiate between rape and molestation. Foolish feminists are careless in this regard; but of course, no man should presume to take advantage of women. As I mentioned in a recent column, the answer for unwanted touching, kissing, caressing of a woman is a simple, strong, swift, stinging slap to the face. That would end most of the problems in my opinion. A sexually abused woman loses credibility every day she waits to report an incident, and I wouldn’t believe a 40-year-old charge without video evidence.

I felt of a girl’s back in the third grade and she stabbed me in the knee with a sharp pencil. I got the message that she wasn’t too pleased. In the fifth grade, I lifted Mildred’s pretty, purple, pleated skirt and saw stars as Mrs. Horn paddled me on the back of my lower legs. The message got louder. As an eighth grader, I was shoved through a glass door by Phyllis while dancing (my last dance) with her. Don’t remember what I did, but I deserved the shove. Women must react immediately when men take advantage of them. Men are a little slow when they think they are irresistible to women.

Most problems between men and women will be solved with a shout, a stab, a slap, or a shove. Women who fail to do that should not be believed when they make accusations. After all, women do lie from time to time. And not all men are lechers.

Then if you eliminate the drugs and alcohol most of the conflict between men and women will be solved.

No man should be convicted of rape if the woman did not yell and fight him. Deut. 22:23 commands, “If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you.” That was God’s practical, proficient plan to handle sex abuse in ancient Israel.

We are not under an obligation to execute fornicators today but we are obligated to understand the necessary requirements in finding a person guilty. The innocent one must resist. There is no rape without resistance. A woman’s charge of rape or molestation should not be accepted if she did not scream, scratch, or shove her assailant. That provides some protection for men against untrue sexual assault charges. Honest, fair people want protection for women and men.

One of the first steps is to protect women is to punish rape more severely. Most people don’t know that at one time in America we executed rapists! Seemed to work. We didn’t have many rapes. And for sure, there were no second offenses!

As a member of the Indiana House of Representatives, I introduced a bill to require life in prison for rape with the stipulation that the Governor had no authority to pardon a rapist. Well, almost no one liked the bill–especially rapists and liberals. Of course, the liberals began whining about it and the Republicans didn’t like it mainly for encroaching on the authority of Governor Bowen. At an impromptu news conference in the rotunda of the State House, a reporter asked me, “Representative Boys why do you want to imprison rapists for life?” I replied, “Because I can’t get the death penalty for their crime.” I got neither.

In 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court in Coker v. Georgia, held that the death penalty for the rape of an adult was “grossly disproportionate” and an “excessive punishment,” and hence was unconstitutional. The court dealt a blow to women’s rights and common sense and lost an opportunity to give some protection to innocent women. But then, it had done that before. Does any sane person believe men would be so sexually aggressive if they knew they would get the death penalty if they raped a woman? Or life in prison?

Furthermore, surely anyone can support the death penalty for any man who would rape a child! In fact, they should get the death penalty twice if that were possible.

In recent years, there has been a virus I call the “hugging” virus that has especially infected younger people. It seems everyone hugs everyone for any reason. Many young women even hug the mailman. I believe there should be no touching between the genders. Extremist? Well, maybe but I prefer that to the present condition of relations between the men and women.

I have followed the no hugging dictum all my adult life thinking it is presumption of me to touch a woman or hug her. I have been accused of being aloof but I can live with that. That’s better than being accused of adultery!

Orthodox Jews refuse to shake a woman’s hand or even touch it! I think that is wise. A female medical doctor and friend wrote me of her experience with a Jewish rabbi: “I forgot this [rabbis not touching a female] and reached out to shake the hand of a Hasidic rabbi – he kept his hands to his side, bowed graciously and said, ‘The last time I touched a woman’s hand I ended up with eight children.’ It was charming, we laughed, and I didn’t mind.”

Modern sophisticates say, “How quaint.” I say to the “sophisticates” that they are partly responsible for the “anything goes” atmosphere in America. God and the Bible were expelled from our schools and we are surprised that schools have become ignorance factories where students sleep with students and students sleep with teachers. Greedy media people produce movies and television shows that are pornographic, uninteresting, and stupid; and careless parents permit their children to watch the visual garbage. Such parents are heedless of the admonition in Psalm 101:3–“I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.”

America is rolling in filth because of the failure of pastors, parents, teachers, legislators, media, and others. Many are so blind they don’t even know filth when they see it.

The media have been quick to rebuff any criticism of Hollywood and television as if society will suffer if a nude scene is removed from a film. In defending soft porn, they try to give a tone of sophisticated substance to empty drivel. It surprises me that people don’t fall to the floor gasping and choking with laughter at their sick sophistication. Intelligent people see an obvious link between watching immorality and practicing immorality.

G. K. Chesterton wrote in 1926 the “the madness of tomorrow is not in Moscow, much more in Manhattan.” He added, “It has been left to the very latest Modernists to proclaim an erotic religion which at once exalts lust and forbids fertility. The next great heresy is going to be simply an attack on morality, and especially on sexual morality.” We are there!

Toleration of sexual immorality is the first stage of decadence. Acquiescing to the pathetic cries of the preachers of permissiveness is a rejection of thousands of years of civilization, biblical teaching, and an acceptance of pigpen morality.

This scandal is a major one that will only get worse but the scandal of all scandals will erupt any day regarding Hollywood’s pedophile ring. Additionally, there is a crescendo building in academia where professors trade grades for sex. Such professors are lower than a snake’s belly in a deep well. That revelation should happen in the wake of this current scandal.

People of power, especially in the entertainment industry, have been self-deceived into thinking they are invulnerable and answerable to no one and can’t be brought down by anyone. They are wrong as the following proves.

In 1970, Peter Yarrow of the Peter, Paul, and Mary trio served three months for molestation of an underage girl. Later, director Roman Polanski pled guilty of a teenage rape in 1977 and fled the U.S. for Europe. In 2001, comedian Paula Poundstone of NPR’s Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me was arrested and charged with three counts of lewd and lascivious act on underage children. She pled no contest, lost her job, but escaped slammer time. Actor Kevin Clash of the Sesame Street series was accused by three men of sexual abuse; resigned his position, and admitted to being “gay.”

I must not neglect to add actor/director Woody Allen and singer Michael Jackson as infamous, accused child abusers. Allen’s own son, Ronan Farrow considers his father a pedophile who married his ex-wife’s adopted daughter! Pee Wee Herman’s sex crime was wildly reported. John Travolta has had at least seven women accuse him with sexual infractions.

In recent months, sexual assault charges against Bill Cosby; Fox News  mogul Roger Ailes; and Fox conservative commentator Bill O’Reilly shocked America. All have been disgraced.

Conservative newsmen Bill O’Reilly, Roger Ailes, and Eric Bolling were joined by the elite in news broadcasting as taking advantage of women: NBC’s Mark Halperin; Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi; The New Republic’s Hamilton Fish and Leon Wieseltier; Michael Oreskes, head of NPR newsroom is now the latest member of the elite media in a month to be accused of sexual misconduct. All have been beheaded–metaphorically.

Hollywood people such as actor Kevin Spacey (homosexual); actor Dustin Hoffman; director Brett Ratner; producer Harvey Weinstein (more than fifty accusers); actor Ben Affleck;  former head of Amazon Studios Roy Price; celebrity chef John Besh; director James Toback (has been accused by over 200 women of harassment or assault); former  VP at Vox Lockhart Steele; creator of Loud House, Chris Savino; magician David Blaine; rapper R. Kelly; Crystal Castles band member Ethan Kath; bassist for Marilyn Manson Twiggy Ramirez (Jeordie White); designer Gianni Versace; E! News correspondent Ken Baker; director Rick Najera; celebrity photographer Terry Richardson; talent agent Tyler Grasham (homosexual); publisher Knight Landesman; have all been disgraced.

Many other famous persons have been accused such as former President George H.W. Bush; USC medical school dean Rohit Varma; USC VP David Carrera; former Microsoft employee Robert Scoble; etc. The dominoes keep falling.

The screaming feminists will go ballistic but we must, in all fairness, recognize that some of the charges may not be true. After all, women have been known to lie about this as is proved by studies that show at least 40% of rape claims are false. U.S. Air Force has found of a thousand rape charges on military bases, 46% are false. Furthermore, Eugene J. Kanin of Purdue University found that 41% of rape claims are false. Some women, like some men, are not trustworthy! Moreover, some women also sexually assault other women and men–and children!

Moreover, when powerful, prestigious, and prosperous men are accused there is big money to be made. And if a man is guilty, then he should have to make massive restitution for his crimes against vulnerable women–and go to jail.

So, what’s the answer to men defiling, debauching, and deflowering women? First, for the women, they should project the highest standards and not be willing to go along for fame, favor, friendship, finances, or a future job. The female head of HBO’s documentary division told PBS News that she was molested many years ago by male bosses and didn’t know what to do because there were few women in television news and no parameters had been set. That is pure poppycock.

Every decent woman knows how to react when her honor is attacked–a sock in the chops, literally. My wife was molested by her fifth grade teacher who ran his hand down the back of her dress. She responded, as a fifth grader, by slapping his face! That was the normal response of a principled young lady. As an adult, she slapped her boss at a major national bank for kissing her on the cheek! The slapee and the office staff could not believe she did that.

While I sure don’t blame women for the molestation, assaults, and rape, their excuses as to not knowing how to respond are bogus. Some women admitted that they were intimidated by the power, position, and prestige of the attacker. Evidently they cared more about the “power, position, and prestige” than their own principles! Others admitted they wanted a job and were willing to pay the price which was a romp in the hay. Of course, that is undisguised, unmitigated, and untoward prostitution!

Of course, some women will want my scalp; however, if words still mean what they always have, it is prostitution for a woman to permit a man to have his way for her profit. I am reminded of the Georgetown party where, after a few drinks, a man offered a beautiful young woman a million dollars if she spent the night with him. She thought about it for a few minutes and finally agreed. Then he said, “Will you spend the night with me for a hundred dollars?” She indignantly replied, “Of course not, what do you think I am, a whore?” He replied, “We have already settled that, now we are only haggling over the price.”

I would be horrified if my daughters or wife even wanted to enter show business and I would never permit them to be interviewed for anything, especially in show business, without my presence because it is  my responsibility to protect, provide, and preserve their integrity. Adam failed to protect Eve in the Garden of Eden resulting in the world mess we experience daily.

I am inviting the slings and arrows of my critics when I add that a woman should also talk and carry herself like a lady not a street walker. By her demeanor, dress, and discourse she should present herself as a high bred lady not as a loose-as-a-goose low life. Her unspoken, but definite message to men should be “Do not handle–not for sale.” All women, whether Christian or not, should be principled, proper, and pure.

Of course, the greater responsibility rests with the men. Many men seem to think they have a right do whatever they want with women. They are often crude, rude, and lewd and think they have a right to any woman that pleases them. That philosophy is a major force in Islam’s desert Bedouin society but is not acceptable in a civilized society.

I have been called an “extremist” when it comes to my relationships with women but after a long life, I would choose the same direction for my life if I were young again. As a young evangelist with a position with an international youth ministry, I resolved never to be alone with a female that was not a relative. That was long before I knew of the Billy Graham or Jerry Falwell rule. I knew that teenage girls are friendly, flighty, and often flirty, and I had friends who had destroyed their lives. I wanted none of that.

As an evangelist traveling alone for many years, I never even came close to betraying my marriage vows. That is strange since I was young, away from home, and living in motels. I never hugged women believing I had no right to do so, even good friends. If you don’t hug them, you won’t sleep with them.

Only twice did I have a prostitute try to make me less lonely, but that wasn’t even a temptation–not with the millions of cases of STDs out there. A life of pain, shame, disgrace, loss of position and family were always in my mind–plus disobeying the clear command of Scripture.

A few ladies, usually church musicians or staff, were flirtatious; but again, my decision to never be alone with a woman prevented any escalation. I also saw a college friend, far more talented than I, throw away his training, his calling, his reputation, his future, and his family for the caresses of the “strange woman.” That example was branded on my soul.

Obviously, from the available information, famous and powerful men have overstepped the boundaries and forced themselves on women–often losing everything. George Gilder wrote in Men and Marriage, “Unless very securely married, virtually any man will sleep with any attractive young woman.” Sounds as if all families need a protective “fence” around their marriages.

Men generally are clods in need of civilizing; and good, godly, and graceful women have accomplished that for millennia. Women can do that by keeping themselves pure in talk, dress, attitude–and when that doesn’t keep a man decent then a swift, stout, and scornful belt in the mouth will be a good teaching tool.

I was in the third grade and Carol sat in front of me. She arose from her seat to sharpen her number three pencil and returned to her seat. As she sat, I reached up and touched her bare back and immediately, she swung around with her pencil and stabbed me in my left knee. Since that day, I have carried a piece of lead in that knee to remind me that it is dangerous to attack an honorable lady.

The male chauvinist pigs evidently have not learned that. Maybe a time in the slammer or the loss of millions of dollars along with their reputations may teach them a long-delayed lesson.

But maybe not since Hollywood types are slow learners. That’s why they use cue cards. Well, here’s a cue card: Keep your hands to yourself and your pants zipped.
