equality for women will "backfire spectacularly"
#oppressedwhitemale
it's unfortunate you don't understand that you, like trump, are part of the problem here. doesn't really matter though, history will leave you behind just like it always has.
No one is denying there is a problem. A few of us are saying the #metoo solution will backfire spectacularly due to its inherent politically opportunisitic intent

Depends on how that is accomplished. You could end all male sexual harassment by killing all men. Or, it could be that there is a shift in human respect and people stop doing shitty things. Huge difference with the same outcome.

Political opportunism always backfires. Always.

Civil rights were not politically opportunistic, as it was a movement independent of anyone trying to further their political ambitions.I don't know, civil rights went okay vs what we had before.

The entire issue pretty much transcends race.
The bypassing of due process of late is very concerning.

Seem to me that Hollywood and the political sphere have systemic problems.this issue has nothing to do with where you work and once again you continue to expose your ignorance.

There are already negative effects. #metoo is a politically opportunistic movement that dies once Trump is out of office.
You have Presidential contenders using #metoo to further their political ambitions and offer blood sacrifices.
There will be liability and civil implications once the pendulum inevitably swings too far, such as the Mattress Girl case.
There is always the cry wolf dynamic that dilutes the conversation.
We should not accept Twitter and social media kangaroo courts.
I am even starting to notice a growing tension at my workplace where there wasn't one before. Even simple things like handshakes with clients or hugs with coworkers have become awkward.
So you agree Al Franken deserved to take one for the team?Just for you
In my opinion this is why this movement is so important. In areas where sexual harassment isn't tolerated, a minor offense typically leads to some training and a write-up. If the offenses continue, then the repercussions escalate accordingly. In cultures where it is simply overlooked, it just runs rampant, until years later it leaks out into the public for high profile cases, and people end up losing their livelihood because of how far its gone. If we develop a culture where its not tolerated, correction can take place before it reaches this level.I'm very concerned about this movement. I absolutely believe things must change but taking the livelihood away from men who have committed minor offenses puts in danger the depth of compassion and empathy for deeper more heinous violations against women. To be clear I don't give one iota how this is affecting men. I'm worried how it will affect women in general. The men that will hurt or objectify women are often the same ones who are vindictive and viciously petty.

No, Al Franken deserved to be removed from the senate based on his own actions. You don't think a pattern of sexual harassment warrants removal from the senate?So you agree Al Franken deserved to take one for the team?
I don't know that he is a creep. I know that a few women alleged he did creepy things, and then his peers threw him under the bus for political reasonsAl Franken is apparently a creep. You want him as a Senator?
Or you're clueless
If only there was a process to validate those accusationsNo, Al Franken deserved to be removed from the senate based on his own actions. You don't think a pattern of sexual harassment warrants removal from the senate?
