“Hasn’t happened to me, clearly doesn’t exist!”

Shut up. You know what you call a woman who keeps quiet? Employed. Women are fired ALL THE TIME for reporting. Unless you’re willing to pay all those women’s rent, just shut up.

You mean sexual assault and harassment are endemic? That’s just UNPOSSIBLE.

Maybe it’s “an annoying thing everybody has in their feed” because it happens to so many people?

Women who haven’t experienced some form of sexual harassment are the exception, not the rule. That’s literally the point of the exercise — to show how widespread it is. And while it’s not anywhere near as common, many men have experienced sexual harassment as well.

I hate hashtag crap. But I sort of get it.

I gotta admit man I have a hard time believing its a coincidence that the two articles today you’ve focused on making pedantic semantic arguments about happen to be the two regarding sexual assault and the result of your edits would be to remove the “men” part from the title of both...

I was a teenage old girl in my first job that I fucking loved, getting harassed nearly every goddamn shift by customers and co-workers alike. Despite wearing an ugly-assed uniform of a polo shirt and long pants, I was convinced that it was somehow my fault, since the constant refrain that I heard from the adults…

Unfortunately, many instances take place in private, so you won’t necessarily see them. However, you can notice the result if, say, a co-worker moves away whenever some particular person is near/around, or if they actively try to avoid being alone with the other person. Having that kind of awareness of other people is…

I have yet to see anyone getting negative pushback from using the hashtag. Only support and encouragement

Another thread on another social site I follow has men telling their #MeToo stories and not being shut down.

This is literally not true.

I mean I critique Zombie Gawker all the time for being a walking example of how social justice can use bad arguments, but this site has never shamed men for coming forward with sexual assault allegations. Certainly not to the level you’re claiming.

There are tons of “real”, supposedly “good” men who still don’t realize that harassment is a continuum and rape culture is about more than pulling your dick out. I have seen this #hashtag used to start this conversation in my own social networks.

I get that, but the original comment talked about “sites like this” and I’ve literally never seen an article here or on other feminist sites that present that point of view on female on male sexual assault. The people who generally have that opinion also don’t take male on female sexual assault seriously. There were…

as a man, i 100% agree with point B.

And when women are in dominance of the power positions in their respective industries, it will seem more credulous that women exploit the power dynamic of their positions to harass and assault men with little fear of repercussion.

Thank you! I’ll also remind you that the twitter archive is all going to the Library of Congress, and in the future we’ll be able to look at things like trending hashtags and see if they are correlated with specific events or actions. So the question of how effective hashtag activism might be, or how connected it is…

Just did my #Iwill post on Twitter. This is my way of telling you that you and what you experienced is important to me. I hear you about the parents. Often parents are not the best at support. The most important thing is to get to the other side. I know it is not easy. I am not there yet either.

I get that concern, and as much as we want justice for HW, we might never get it. Also, in terms of getting a criminal conviction, which it sounds like is what you want and most of us want, that’s out of our hands. If you’re familiar with 12 steps, this is where I like to remember the serenity prayer: Give me the…

I shared an extensive story of my own sexual harassment on social media, in light of all this, and you know what happened? People, especially men, especially men I had worked with at the time, reached out to me to tell me how sorry they were about what happened, that they didn’t try harder to connect some red flags,…
