In the sense that if men are dismissive of it, that I don’t want to have anything to do with them. Clearly they don’t know how to act right.
Hey, look at it this way... all the men who are outing themselves on this question are the men who make it easy for us to avoid them :)
I know, right? It’s a win/win situation for me.
Yup!
I'm married now, so it doesn't affect me greatly. If I was single and looking for a relationship, I would be second thinking before making a flirtatious remark or comment about a woman's attractiveness. I don't believe any of my past actions ever crossed the line, but even an accusation in today's environment could ruin a career or a reputation.
As it should. Inappropriate comments in the workplace run rampant, unfortunately.
Not really but in a way yes, that general feeling & narrative has been going on for years already, it has made me very hesitant to approach women for fear of more than just the usual anxieties. I look like an awkward and unattractive person & I see all of these creeper men like Brock Turner & the like being shared on social media like Wanted Posters of old, & I see myself being in one of those posts (irrationally so but I have an anxiety disorder) because of making a bad misstep of tact & stepping in it. With the Rolling Stone story where it didn't happen & they had to retract the article, I feel like, you don't even have to do anything to potentially become targeted because some people have mental problems or are just straight up vindictive.
For the last fucking time, NO. Unless your moves consisted of grabbing women by the pussy, this campaign has no fucking meaning to your life. Get this shit to facebook or wherever old farts without brains gather now to talk about how global warming isn't real.
I don't think you have any say in what does and does not have meaning to my life. And telling me to get off of GAG? Really? I have every right to be on here just like everybody else. How about you get a life.
No. I've never thought sexual assault was okay. I thought consent was as vital 10 years ago as I do now.
Finally an intelligent answer.
No. I’ve experienced sexual harassment and sexual violence in my life. I view it the same as I always have. A movement doesn’t personally change my thoughts.
Not at all. Something that has happened to someone should never define how that person is viewed. They are still themselves. Also the #metoo movement didn't succeed in what it was trying to do. It turned into a joke and many didn't participate because they didn't want the attention that simple hashtag would bring.
Women just want to show they have high sexual market value. Most are exaggerating or lying. Most women are not attractive enough to cause that. But anyway, this will harm women worse in the long run... First metoo dilutes real sexual harassment cases and rape. These words don't have the same power they once had.
Also, it will mean they will be treated differently in the workplace. Fewer men will hit on them..
Then they ask where have the good men gone? 😂😂😂 they've gone their own way.
Yeah, after seeing all the fall out from regret sex that women get, even a year later. I don't see getting married as an option anymore
I think what’s most retarded is women waiting 30 years to come out and say how a man did something to them such as “slap their ass” or “ask them something sexual.” Like please lol that’s bullshit
It makes me glad I will be staying permanently single , my situation as a FT working single dad means this comes with the territory. By nature I am strictly non tactile and very " hands off " with everyone , apart from my children , I would not even attempt dating in this day and age , for a man it is a minefield.
No, because where I'm from we know the difference between sexual harassment, courtship and friendly approach. The western world is now programmed to look at even standard courtship or friendly approach as sexual harassment, which is sick.
Not at all. #Metoo really mainly focused on people who had been pressured by more powerful people or who have been getting really inappropriate comments or touching.
Normal conversations and small compliments isn't the problem, and that's what I do.
The few extreme cases just ruins reputation of rest, like guys who are assholes, and girls who thinks everyone is trying to lure them on bed, but both are minority.
No it hasn't ! Knowing that I can complain about sexual harrassment on social media doesn't affect the fact that I can still distinguish if a man is harrassing me or is just irrelevent
No, it hasn't for me. Just because I went through molestation, doesn't mean I have to close myself off to other potential relationships that I could end up in.
A couple of guys have told me that they never want to get close to a girl or seek romantic relationships with one because of the whole movement
Feminists, liberals (the people behind the #metoo) don't want people to date or marry. That's why. Dating and marriage is dead, the liberals have brainwashed people into thinking having families and getting married is disgusting, now being single, having a career and aborting any babies that occur. Yep life is good these days.
I've been married for 16 years, have four kids, and am a stay-at-home mom...
Well I'm ugly, so I consider I don't have much chance with girls to begin with, but since that metoo thing, I know that if ugly me tries to flirt, or just look at a girl, I could end up labelled as a harasser on every social media.
Not only that, but I don't like being considered as a potential rapist only because i'm a man.
So, I guess it's too bad for my dream to be a dad, but a broken dream is better than shaming and jail.
Not really. Honesty, honorable, respectful, intelligent, considerate, polite, interesting, attractive women will be just that despite any fad that comes and goes. Free thinkers who have a life usually don't get tied up in movements anyways because they are too busy enjoying and living their life to be worrying how others are living theirs.
It makes me scared of girls and women. I'm just worried that some woman who doesn't like me is going to accuse me of rape. I'm tired of guys being painted as bad people. It just doesn't feel right and I feel pushed against the wall. I'm aware that I'll never know what abuse is like but this is the problem with gender (social construct).
Couldn’t agree more.
