Female power eventually self-destructs

The reality of the #MeToo era is that women are socially incentivized to destroy men's livesIt represents a form of dominance posturing in many female social circles to say that you were assaulted or taken advantage of by someone powerful (like, say, the president, or a federal judge).

So now, men who have to pay attention to their public image are starting to take measures to neutralize that "I could destroy you if I felt like it" feminine power-move that so many modern women hold so eagerly over men's heads. 

The self-deceiving creatures at HuffPo only have the self awareness to realize (dimly, through a haze of hamster-wheel rationalizing and estrogen) that it makes them angry in some ill-processed way. So, they screech impotently about sexism and complain that, "he demanded I accommodate him because I'm a woman."

No, he demanded you accommodate him because you are a journalist. That is your job. If you want an interview, you accommodate the interviewee.

The question is, what type of entitlement is this, the female kind, or the journalist kind?

I submit that this is not only female entitlement, it is a picture-perfect example of what female entitlement, the feminine imperative, actually looks like in practice.

The brain space of the upset journalist in this story is identical to the mindset that leads the same bunch of women to screech that male birth control is somehow a problem for women. They won't say it, but they're upset because it neutralizes a very real advantage that women have over men; A convenient little "oopsie" (that would just so happen to be massively advantageous for her) could be obviated by an effective male birth control pill, thus removing her ability to control him, use him, and discard him when she has gotten what she wants.

The truly messed up part is, girls who "accidentally" miss a pill to get a paycheck don't even admit to themselves that they're doing it. They rationalize it every step of the way, telling themselves that it was an accident but, oh well, it worked out in the end, because she got paid, or married, or whatever. Then, when faced with the possibility of male birth control, she freaks out that the possibility of taking underhanded control of his life without admitting it to herself has disappeared, and she doesn't like how her own narcissism looks in the mirror.

When women seize this level of social and political power, the ability to functionally destroy any man they want at any time, the results of exercising that power are, almost immediately, fundamentally self-defeating.

There's a reason that historically matriarchal social orders don't last long. Ever been in a workplace full of mainly women? That's basically why.
