It isn't just about being offended.

You are wrong.
Tell it to the author of this article. She, and others like her, are the ones defining what #metoo is.

Some men are struggling to cope in this new world where women won't let the men be pigs....but for the most part -- most of the men I know -- decent human beings who get it. They aren't so worried.
If you think these people are accomplishing anything here in this instance beyond further discrediting themselves and the Democrat left's vile and hugely offensive "Political correctness" movement, you are misreading the situation.

Also, if you think that the increasingly absurd expections of many of the more radical elements of this group (including the women referred to in the OP) are being broadly accepted as new rules and social standards by our entire society, you really are out of your mind.

Oh my yes. God forbid a man in power behave like a decent human being.

Certainly - it's all the woman's fault for not wanting to be forced into sex, showing her underwear, or raped in order to keep her job.

Just tossing it out there again, like I did with Stuart Smalley: Remember, these are accusations. I don't believe any of the people, beyond Bill Cosby, have had a single day in court over any of the allegations that the #metoo movement has made in all these months.

I don't care if someone is what I consider a scum bag slimey Dem politician, a disgusting actor, an ugly fat ass producer, people in this country are innocent until proven guilty.

We don't need another round of the Salem Witch Trials in this country. Put the tar and feathers down until these people have been found guilty in a court of law.

The actions of MeToo prove what you're saying is complete rubbish.

How many of those who voted for him wish they, too, could live like that? Oh, sure - it's human nature, but the whole point of being a free and advanced society is to be able to rise above that... not blindly support strongmen because we wish to be the "alpha" and above the law someday, too.

As for Morgan Freeman, this is unfortunate given his amazing voice and acting, but nobody should be above the rules, regardless of their skillset or lack thereof. May justice be done.

Funny you should mention the law since due process is the #metoo movement's Kryponite.

Yep, small time compared to some other accused. Just tried it on. He comes from a different time. I like Morgan Freeman. Nothing I've heard so far changes my opinion.

Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating women's education. The MeToo movement will ruin someone's life because they said something they didn't like. There's a reason many people hate the MeToo movement.

Same thing with the abuse of Title IX on college campuses.
