You call me a narcissist now, among other things.
I'm not upset, C_A, throughout posting in this thread, I've been completely calm and relaxed.
If you or anyone else posting here is still struggling to see what the #MeToo movement is about, let me spell it out.
Sexual predators (99.999999% men) acting with impunity.
Given that this movement has now gone global (and I hope it becomes an avalanche), all men are aware now. Impunity is over. This is a culture change around sexual harassment and assualt. I'm trying to get you to see that this is not about you, this is not your moment. This is the moment belonging to all woman (and abused men) worldwide, it is something to celebrate. Who would have thought anything positive can ever come out of Hollywood? Lol! The irony....
Another thing worth mentioning about how things unfolded in this discussion, is the days are over where women are dismissed, we are part of the conversation now, and this is only just the beginning.
On a lighter and more humorous note, I think Meryl Streep will think twice in future before calling someone 'God' in an Oscar speech... "House of Cards" anyone? How prophetic.
I don't understand how you don't see prejudice in your post.
So I'm going to just note this for you, you say this movement isn't about me, but then you state its for abused men.
This movement is for me then. I am sorry you cannot see that...
And it's very saddening to see you still label men sexual predators, all men (99.999999 percent of them anyway)
I'm guessing you think I'm a sexual predator, so, with that, I think I will refrain from further interactions with you, at least until I feel like you've gotten all these discriminatory feelings towards me/n settled.
It's extremely hurtful to be called something so horrible, you don't even seem to realize how hurtful your words have become.
I must reluctantly say, you remind me of one of the girls that abused me, that makes me incredibly cautious now. So I will refrain from here on out.
Glow, Aion, Elros, Isis, you've all pointed to some helpful thoughts, and even new things to consider. I just want to thank you all for your help. I hope everyone will be able to heal from these discussions one day.
I really hope one day we'll all see things more clearly.
