In this monologue, Dr. John A. King argues that individuals who engaged in consensual sexual activity as adults cannot later recharacterize those encounters as sexual abuse, rape, or harassment. He frames this stance as a critique of the evolving MeToo movement, suggesting that the movement is being undermined by high‑profile figures who retroactively claim victimhood. King emphasizes personal responsibility, urging listeners to acknowledge poor moral choices, own their actions, and move forward rather than seeking to rewrite past consensual experiences as crimes.

Chapters

Be it the casting couch or the White House, if you're of sound mind and you're of age of consent and you willingly have sex with someone, 20 years later you don't get to recast yourself as a victim of horrendous sexual abuse, rape, or even harassment. Let me just point this out to you, that this will be the end of the MeToo movement. People are tired, especially people who have suffered horrendous cases of sexual abuse or rape or, or horrible harassment. They're a little bit tired of, of people of fame and notoriety climbing onto a bandwagon and trying to now redefine their life in some sort of victimhood. Listen, you made a poor moral choice. You did something dumb. It didn't quite work out. So own your crap, move on, and deal with it.
