This is why the quick lambasting and removal of Al Franken was so ridiculous. <br /><br />But what's to be done? Every time I try point out the ridiculousness or the injustice that every accuser is 100% legit and every accused is guilty I'm told that, as a man, I should just be quiet. Or that I'm a misogynist. Or that I just don't understand the #metoo movement (which I do, because ... #metoo). <br /><br />The importance of the movement is going to be lost if it keeps going this way. And yes, eye rolls are what the responses will be. Not every accusation is sexual abuse or harassment, not everyone accused is guilty. Simply because someone accuses doesn't make the accuser an automatic saint.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08139790755310666856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16333114.post-19730742498370326952018-01-15T07:16:20.701-05:002018-01-15T07:16:20.701-05:00The problem with #metoo is the same all these lame...The problem with #metoo is the same all these lame hashtag cause have- in our current idiot century EVERYONE wants their fifteen second of fame-and it's too easy to tweet for attentionjaragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14424886904148460509noreply@blogger.com
