I think it's only the beginning. And thank goodness. All those #metoos only represent the women who are willing to admit to it.

Its funny how the preditor would prance around the victoms looking for the next moment to make their move. In their feable mind they thought no one would ever speak up or come forward with it and talk about it to others. Look what happened to bill Clinton. Your going to get found out so what the hell are you thinking about?

#MeToo is important for predatory behavior to change. Sexual harassment is everything from verbal to physical attention, without consent. If it makes her uncomfortable, it went beyond flirting.

I think it’s a good thing that women are speaking out. I don’t think it’s a good thing that men are being crucified for an accusation.
Sexual harassment: sexualizing the work place or making someone’s job dependent upon sexual favors.

More later if I have time and care enough, but few thoughts

MeToo is necessary IMO, every woman I know has been touched sexually in ways she didn't want. I'm not talking about standing too close in a crowd, intentionally touching someone who doesn't want to be touched is wrong and doubly wrong if it's sexual.

Just like every social movement in human history, the pendulum has swung a little too far in a couple of instances. Plus overall metoo rarely seems concerned with male victims, talking about males who have been molested in no way distracts from females being assaulted.

BTW METOO, now I'm comfortable with everything that happened but guys know you're not alone and should be free to speak out, cry, rage... Seriously, if you were molested as a child or even by a spouse, a stranger, you are not alone. PLEASE Get professional help if you haven't.

Every single guy doesn't want to fuck you. Last week, a dog I see at the park with a guy starts freaking...I carry treats I've never seen the woman, but HER HUSBAND, HER HUSBAND HER HUSBAND. Literally three times in a minute she stares me down and lets me know SHE IS OFF LIMITS! LOL, your dog reacted to me and I know your hubbie's name, CHILL. Very very minor example, but confirmation bias is strong in all humans. That creepy guy you're sure is hitting on you might be a creepy guy, or he could just be a natural extrovert or not even notice you.

I support MeToo and we need to annihilate predators who are almost always men.

@twshield thisthread

Al Franken was railroaded out of office and it's not right! I'm still waiting for someone to stand up and say, " I have here a list of 200 sexual abusers right here in the government ".
Then we'll have the House Committee on Un-American Sexual Activity. " Are you now or have you ever been a sexual predator"? " Do you know any sexual predators '?
A social movement is becoming a political weapon and we'll all regret it.

I don't like the movement. There are enough reasons in life to avoid love entirely so lets create a few more. I have been avoiding women at work entirely for 18 years now, long before #MeToo. If I don't avoid you watch out because dark sarcasm is coming next.

I don't by the white male privilege crap. Women control Civil Court.

I do think feeling able to tell one’s story and air injuries is a valuable thing for everyone. #metoo provides a platform to call awareness of a problem which has plaqued us too long: So long that even good men are unaware of how our privilege affects attitude and assumptions. This awareness gives us an opportunity to grow and be better.
Women have lessons to learn from these claims as well. While juvenile displays of sexual desire may be annoying, unwanted, or distracting they are not of the same cloth as rape or discrimination. Ending careers of men who are of good will but have acted in juvenile fashion, at times, is neither productive or fair. It’s appropriate to quarantine those accused, until an accusers claim can be weighed, but not to destroy them based on accusations alone.
It’s also important to acknowledge that men are sometimes harassed and objectified as well. We are also discriminated against by some female dominated environments. Dating and mating is also still more expensive for men than women, since men are expected to pay for most activities (certainly in the beginning phase) and physical adornments (like rings or make-up during periods when women are not earning money to contribute). These things affect attitudes toward equal pay so maybe gender expectations should be more fully re-evaluated?
The past 50+ years have created many horrendous gender and social roles, assumptions, and expectations that this moment allows us to evaluate. Whatever advances those conversations is useful. Few advancements have ever been made without many injustices accompanying them so we need to proceed as cautiously as possible.

The best way to end sexual harassment, once for all, let women not get pregnancy and if they do by accident, let them abort all boy babies. Simple..like that. I have not met any male who consented to be given birth to.

The movement would be legitimate if it was not political, and not coordinated by rabid (foaming at the mouth rabid) social justice warriors. Pursue alleged offenders with legal precedent. Keep the man-organ and sex haters away from the cameras and microphones. Or (here is an idea) give the men and women who are accused their day in court. If the allegations are deliberately falsified...and the accused is found not guilty...and/or the case is thrown out? The person/group that had levied the charges should be sued no less than $100 million...with an additional $100 million for every other specific falsehood the accused has been libeled with.

Mom's. Its your fault.

Why are you sending defenseless daughters out into the world? You went through it yet you didn't learn anything from the experience or if you did you didn't pass that information on to your daughter? Who does that? No verbal or physical weapons provided to them? As in, this is what some men do, here is a way to defend yourself. Why don't you mother's enroll your daughters in a self defense classes where they can get use to kneeing a man in the balls?

They are called the Facts of Life. Teach them.

If a man is close enough to grab your boob your close enough to put your knee in his balls. If you do that and he and every man he knows will never do that to you again.

If a man says something you don't like have a comeback ready.

Stop being a victim and become the confident strong woman your supposed to be.

Yes you will be nervous the first time you try kneeing some dick in the balls but you won't be the second time.

It's happens a lot, take action. It's nothing to be traumatized about and have it ruin your whole life.

what is sexual harassment. Any actions or words directed toward another individual which are unwelcome and sexual in nature. Especially if the perp is in any kind of position of authority over the intended victim. Especially after a "NO". Any words or actions involving sexual content which are designed to humiliate, persuade or threaten an individual with their job status or opportunities. #MeToo is long overdue, and dealing any difficulties it may harbor is better than the status quo.

Any sexual talk and or touching is off limits. I think it's a good thing to be out in the open but sadly the offenders and Trump supporters don't see it that way.

Sexual harassment? A harem of women wanting my body. Me too? That's a good thing, I don't want to be left out.

Bit pointless if the police are not involved and no one gets convicted
