Well, it is certainly made me a lot less likely to believe them. I've also noticed it has caused hiring issues. men are less likely to approach women, as per studies reveal.
But let's look at how it benefited women... Oh, there are no real positives or improvements that came with it? Oh well.
I'd say yes, and before you cast your stones at me realize your using #metoo just for women that stuff happens to men as well. On the same note as long as it's the truth it should be brought up and be supported but a false accusations can destroy the lives of many people so it's a very delicate situation.
There are always upsides and downsides to everything usually. But I think more positive has probably come out of it than negative. I mean not feeling like you have no voice is awful, so changing that can only be a good thing, men being more reserved is hardly a complaint in that context is it.

No. It has helped beyond words. We know we're not alone and we now have the strength and support to come forward when someone abuses their power.
Except in almost every single instance their was no evidence presented, evidence showed that the woman was lying or it was done anonymously. Meanwhile our laws on sexual abuse and rape are harsh on the accused and easy on victims (so much so that they found that upwards of 40% of all accusations are false, despite which men are still imprisoned for false allegations all the time and when a woman does admit she lied she suffers almost no punishment for it). That is not true in the slightest, women are always believed no matter how Ludacris the story is (As the Kavanaugh incident and the Neil Degrass Tyson accusation, and the matress girl and the Rolling stones magazine incident all show).
I think the original idea was very helpful. It's been exposing rapists and giving the victims a voice. It's all about control with rape, but this movement has given some of those women their control back. Now on the flip side, I think in a few cases people have made it into a fad. I think some people have come out and falsely accused to be a part of it. Anyone who does that deserves jail time.
It’s sad that women feeling empowered to talk about things that make them I comfortable has to be referred to as a movement. That effected me more than the movement itself. That’s some crazy shit.

Since most of the whining was over bullshit like "unwanted advancements" which included simply asking a girl out. Taking females seriously is hard to do now. If a female claims some horrific thing, I am instantly skeptical (and often right) about their motives.

I think so becuase most of those metro allegation was proven to be lies or not enough evidence. And now it's kinda hard to believe them. Becuase woman know that most people will see them as victims. It makes you look them as liars unless they close in your circle chance are I dont care what happens to any random female
I believe it has opened a lot to talk about. Women I believe should have rights but at the same point in time with those rights comes the extra things along with it.
It's got justice for some who genuinely deserved justice, but it's hurt many others because of the movement's tendency to overreach in its accusations.
I think it has. Not all of them, but the false accusations that are coming out against men, and womenas well, just make it more difficult for actual victims to be heard/ taken seriously.

It hasn't. It has empowered women to speak up about times they have been mistreated or abused. It is good for all of us.
No, if anything it’s made women more self empowered rather than feeling angry and annihilated
From what I've heard men are refusing to mentor women, be alone in a room with them, leaving the doors open in officess and so on..
This isn't bcs of metoo itself but bcs some women have used it for selfish gain by leveling false accusations against men.
It's hurt everyone. It's just increased the negativity both genders have for each other so now even less men are willing to approach women.
It’s become a voice for women. I don’t think it’s impacted us negatively at all.
If anything it exposes the rapists/ sexual assaulters who got away.

Like most other Leftist movements, it has touted out and out lies against some men, while excusing very real abuse of women by other men.
It's hurt everything. Its gone too far.
Hurting in what way?
