Why haven't any guys come forward? Surely there are some guys who have been harassed?
I’ve actually been harassed on several occasions. Once while working a government job my supervisor kissed me. It was totally unexpected and really forceful. I told her it wasn’t cool and she backed off immediately. In retrospect, I wish I had reported it. Things got really awkward and made for a tense work environment. I eventually left because I just couldn’t deal with the overall culture and tense working environment.
I guess op never heard about kevin spacey and how he was brought down
That’s like saying “All lives matter” it’s not their movement. Not saying sexual harassment to men doesn’t occur. But you will never know what it’s like to live in this world as a female. Take a back seat.
So... don't report sexual assault if you're a man or just avoid using the hashtag?
unless he self identifies as one
All lives do matter. I am a woman, and I would feel bad for people who got harassed, regardless of gender.
If you think all lives matter you are a racist! And if you think women being harassed is the same as men being harassed, you are sexist! That’s where we are as a country.
You’re missing the point. No one ever said all lives don’t matter. But if you’re going to equate the hardships Black people in America have face to white, you’re delusional. I just went through customs. Guess which of my friends was randomly selected...
Guys have come forward. If you don't know that, you haven't been paying attention at all.
I haven't been paying attention at all. What a gotcha moment. You nailed it.
men are expected to be tough and capable of protecting themselves. It gets laughed off when men complain. That said there are men who’ve come out about it.
I wish more men would come forward tbh. I think there's a mix of it being rarer combined with the patriarchal expectation of men in power and being dominant, that makes them less inclined to be open about issues. Terry Crews wasn't taken seriously in his harassment lawsuit because people see him as the stronger person. I think this is a very real problem too.
Yeah people don't take men seriously when they say they've been harassed, and there's this expectation that guys are always looking for sex and will always accept sexual advances from anyone. I mean, seeing those comments on articles about teachers having sex with their students, and people going " man I would've loved that"? That's messed up
Decent (maybe good) looking guy here. I have been groped a couple of times, and once kissed on the cheek out of the blue. The groping was done by fat girls (it is always the fat ones that get aggressive when they get drunk), while the kiss out of the blue was done by a hot one. I new she was dating somebody at the time and didn’t pursue it, while as for the groping by the chubby girls, I ignored it and moved on. There was always alcohol involved when that happen. Girls didn’t persist so the next day just acted as nothing happened. Also I have been stalked by the occasional female coworker and hit on by gay dudes. We are all humans, and these things are bound to happen when a bunch of young people work together. The point is to take control of the situation and not let it go out of control and have good boundaries. Most good looking guys experience these things, but a good looking girl will experience these things 5x more. So, if you asked you guys don’t have #metoo stories, I bet most (good looking) guys have a couple of minor incidents , but they are not grave and guys just shake it up and move on with their life’s instead of going into Twitter and moan about it to gain some internet karma/sympathy points. Ah, Also I have been asked out by a female VC (when raising money). Weirded me out a bit at the beginning, but just moved on. She was polite about it and did it after saying “no” to the startup. Also I don’t believe the “VCs have power over you” mantra spouted by some feminists. They do only if you have nothing of value to offer in your startup. If a VC is acting shady, stop dealing with them and move to the next one. But from my experience a lot of female founders use their sexuality to the max to get their foot on the door and gain any advantage they can, and contribute to the shady environment indirectly. (Ps I have a gay friend that is a partner at a firm. He has seen some of this behavior first hand, which obviously doesn’t work on him).
As a guy I've been told that if a guy or a girl hits on you take it as a compliment. If I resist and dont want to do something, then I'm the problem. It's not the same for guys apparently...
does not match the narrative
But a perfect time to attain instant credibility through the eyes of the public?
When guys try to speak up, leftists quickly shutdown the conversation and shame the victim. It’s a no win battle. Your life will be ruined. Look at Damore.
