Hi, I got that phish too. Decided not to bother Glenn as it was likely a fraud.
If I have a conversation with somebody younger than myself about behaviour, ethics etc, the biggest and easiest trump card they can play is to say that I am "judging" others (and implicitly, them). I reply by saying that judging is a virtuous thing to do because it entails process, structure, evidence gathering, dialogue, openness and careful decision making. It is not about typologies, it is about in-depth consideration of specific circumstances and reviewing of arguments and contingencies before arriving at ... a judgement.
This goes straight over their heads. For them "judging" is a hasty and unfair assessment of another person based on age, gender, race or other superficial features. THE BIG IRONY. This is exactly what they do to people who are not of their age, gender, race or opinion. "Old, white men, yuck".
How did this come about? I am not sure but it entailed a disregard for things which separate the rule of law from chaos. It was a power grab and if forms the basis of other assumptions which now are considered sacrosanct by McWhorter's "elect" and blindly applied by opinion formers and the gauleiter of the contemporary ethics police in organizations and pressure groups. Weinstein was guilty, judged and convicted so by the system of law and due process. This does not mean that every man who looks remotely like him is guilty of whatever you might choose to accuse him of. Just as not every black man is guilty of something just because he is driving a car.
If we do not escape this mindset, we are all screwed. That way lies fascism and ruin, not diversity equity and inclusion.
