So. Cal
The movement was built on years of organising with young black women in low-income communities, connecting survivors with resources, developing activists and creating a community of empathy and healing.
:ohhh: wow I didn't know that. It's really sad what Cac women did to this movement

Yeah man Rose Mcgowan came up off a lil TV show and was going around the country doing book signings.

What the fukk was the creator of this movement doing that she wasn't getting any bread from this? Seriously? Did she not get anything from this either? No shows or book deals?

Why don't more males come out? Men themselves protect rape culture by trivializing male sexual assault and/or calling dudes gay if they complain.
The irony of men underestimating women is that they fly under radar when they are predators.

When Terry came out about the execs coming on to him, dudes clowned him. A large part of toxic masculinity is denying male vulnerability which ironically leaves the door wide open for toxic femininity and female predators to exist unchallenged.

Edit: I know dudes who have literally had to quit their jobs b/c of sexual harrassment from female bosses.

I agree with 99% of this.

However...


All of this shyt needs to be aired out but a lot of people seem to have a lot invested in women and men who have been sexually abused remaining silent.

...so then, what really will change if "all of this chit" indeed does get "aired out"?

No, she gave white women the reigns once they gave her a pat on the head.

She got pat on the head. They’ve let her attend some events and take some photo ops with white women and that’s what she settled for apparently up until now.

She wasn’t hustling, she was in it with her heart. She was gassed off of the fake acceptance and white women pretending to care about her.

You’re suspect for even believing that bs mission message. She wasn’t organizing with black women and she can’t even connect herself with resources which is why she’s whining now. So how was she connecting others with resources? Nobody cared about me-too until white women made it a thing and this chic was too dumb to even secure compensation for herself.

Y’all sensationalist idiots didn’t even read the post

She wasn’t saying #MeToo is unrecognizable because of white feminists hijacking it.

She said it was unrecognizable because media outlets try and change the narrative that it’s a vindictive plot against men.

Each major news outlet has had a major anchor outed for sexual assault, Charlie Rose at CBS, Matt Lauerbat NBC, Bill O’Reilly at Fox. These outlets tried to delegitimize the movement to save face.

Y’all keep reacting to the headline tho :stopitslime:
Wow someone actually also read the article. I cannot believe these fools all regurgitated the same exact talking point. :dead:

But there are men that have spoken out about Hollywood and "metoo" hasnt included them in the movement. And as I mentioned, one of their members groomed a young boy in the same manner that the movement is supposedly fighting against. Did metoo speak out against her and for the boy? Of course not because its about gender not "fighting against sexual assault" or whatever...

Breh gender is the issue. One of the biggest reasons boys go missing, are in sex rings and sexually assaulted at high numbers are due to gender.

We have had a huge issue for the last 40 plus years of young males in sex rings and in street prostitution that has been literally ignored by the media and general public. The shyt isn't even addressed and if it is it is glossed over. The assumption is sexual assault means a man assualting a woman.

It is one of the reasons serial killers who kill male teenagers and young men are able to fly under the radar for so long. Why the whole Sandusky shyt flew under the radar for years. How sickos like John Wayne Gacie and Jeffrey Dahmer were able to do what they did.
