Comment on I feel stupid asking this
Sharpiemarker@startrek.website 8 months agoSome of the other shit like the appropriate age thing is valid, but you can’t give him shit for the #metoo statement though because the news has created a scary place for men that are sexually active.
This is 100% incorrect. Men don’t feel unsafe approaching women because of the MeToo movement. Only incels and rapists are concerned, and they should be.

That’s not 100% incorrect because I actually know people like this. Yes it does not apply to everyone but to ignore that it has affected normal men to some capacity would be ridiculous.
Keep in mind that I’m not saying there is anything wrong with #metoo itself, I think it is an awesome movement that helps put power in the hands of victims, I am simply stating that there are people who are not victims that abuse the movement for attention or financial gain which have hurt innocent PEOPLE, not just men. Everything good will always have a downside, that is just how it is.

The difference is, you don’t criticize a movement because of some outliers. And bringing up outliers in a movement just makes you seem like you have an agenda, or in this case like you’re defending rapists.

How am I criticizing a movement by making it aware that these things happen?
Oh fuck off, this conversation is done. If you genuinely somehow think it looks like I’m defending rapists based off what I said, then you are one of the last people who need to be involved in a legal movement. Remember, it is innocent until proven guilty, just because I’m not bloodthirsty to put someone in prison for twenty years before any evidence comes out doesn’t mean I do not support a movement whatsoever. I’m simply stating the fact that outliers like that HURT the movement, if you somehow cannot see that, then I cannot converse with you further.
