It would still be unlikely that the #metoo movement is a cover for oppressing women. I am not entirely sure if this was supposed to be a counterpoint to that or not. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Covert ops are called covert for a reason.

See, you THINK it's all about making "people aware of how widespread and common sexual abuse and harassment" is.

But is it actually?

Or is it a movement to try and emasculate men?

I mean, it's not like they're claiming "male privilege" or anything on their official website... right?

Oh, wait... they are:
https://metoomvmt.org/toolkit/metoo-masculinity-male-privilege-consent-discussion-guide/

And it's not like they're posting deranged and utterly false facts on the website, are they?

Oh, wait... they are:
"1 in 3 women have been victim of either an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime"

"31.7 percent of college men would have sexual intercourse with a woman against her will 'if nobody would ever know and there wouldn’t be any consequences'"

"Only 13.6 percent of these men said they would have “any intentions to rape a woman” in the same situation"

And the list goes on... and on...

The MeToo movement isn't what you think it is.... It's a direct attack on males, with the encouragement that everyone should believe women, regardless of any lack of evidence in the matter.

NPC: Woman said it. Believe woman.

It's just another one of these movements that "sounds good", so long as you don't take the time to look into what it is that they're all about.

Like the Black Lives Matter movement. It sounds good on the surface, but as soon as you start looking into their actual agenda, it becomes apparent that people are just being swayed by a fancy catch phrase.

Or Antifa... anti-fascists.... I mean, how could anyone be against a movement to stop fascism? Until you realize that they aren't actually anti-fascist at all... they're a communist political party, with the agenda of bringing communism to the western world.

Women actually had to fight ridiculously misogynistic views in the very recent past (within 30 years and there are still examples today if you want me to seriously fetch them). One ridiculous misogynistic view that was even used as a defense in courts was that a woman's clothing acted as some form of consent.

https://scholarship.law.umn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi%3Farticle%3D1412%26context%3Dlawineq&ved=2ahUKEwja-ezV_IffAhVB9YMKHeQaCyAQFjACegQICRAB&usg=AOvVaw31o0Q5Q7S385xs9grszGEs&cshid=1543988939989

The website just categorizes such views and attitudes as male privilege. I don't care for the category name, but there is certainly plenty of evidence to say that such views and attitudes were and are still prevalent.

As far as the statistics, they appear to be from accredited sources. Do you have better statistics to offer as a counterpoint? And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

The #metoo movement was intended for women to stand up and fight back, yes, but against those actually committing offenses that were otherwise ignored due to women being afraid to come forward for the reasons mentioned earlier. Imo, it is a movement that is at the tail-end of a major shift in prevailing views regarding the subject of sexual assault on women, but the shift in views absolutely needed to happen.

I will agree that it is being abused by people with nefarious ulterior motives, but that is about the only thing we can agree on. And I swear I'm not going to let her know all the pain I have known

Not sure of the fall story, I read a few weeks ago a woman was pregnant and found out she was having a girl (could be the other way around), she was very sad and disappointed and didn't want the baby anymore explained husband/partner as the women went missing after finding out this information. Her body was found on a beach about an hour or two from my city.

If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!

Come on, you're better than that.

What the CDC article (from 2010) states:
Original message details are unavailable.

More than 1 in 3 women (35.6%) and more than 1 in 4 men (28.5%) in the United States have experienced rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

Now, let's ignore the fact that they completely omitted the "physical violence" and the "stalking" portions... and ask yourself why they didn't include the "1 in 4 men" portion of the statistic, if they were honestly trying to spread awareness? Oh, that's right, because it's an anti-male movement.

Now, the "Statistics on Masculinity Attitudes/Male Attitudes" comes from where?
GQ, a style and glamour magazine, and an independent publisher's article written by 3 councilors at North Dakota University. These are just opinion pieces, and not actual statistics gathered by legitimate sources.

But hey, so long as no one bothers to fact check, then it's quite believable, isn't it?

If it was actually about educating and protecting people, they wouldn't have attacked the HimToo movement, they would have embraced and endorsed it. However, because the movement is specifically anti-male, they had no choice but to attack the HimToo movement.

The CDC has since changed their stance, and their current stance is:

Original message details are unavailable.
1 in 3 women and 1 in 6 men have experienced sexual violence involving physical contact at some point in their lives.
However, that statement is highly misleading. According to the CDC, "sexual violence" not only includes rape, but also includes:
Original message details are unavailable.
Non-physically pressured unwanted sex
Unwanted sexual contact (intentional sexual touching), or
Non-contact, unwanted sexual experiences (such as verbal sexual harassment)
https://www.cdc.gov/features/sexualviolence/index.html

So when people quote these statistics as "1 in 3 women are raped", they're claiming that someone who whistles at you on the street against your consent, has raped you.

How legitimate is an organization if they're resorting to such deceitful practices?

And don't get me wrong, I'm completely against rape, of both females and males. So please don't get the wrong idea. I'm just pointing out the deceptive practices that many of these movements engage in. If no one takes the time to look into things, then people will simply believe what they are told.
