When will these few people accused of sexual assault learn to take personal responsibility for putting themselves in that position?

Huh? How does one take responsibility for a disgruntled woman making up false allegations against you?

You just know that people will abuse the #metoo movement and weaponize it. It will and most certainly has happened already somewhere out there.

Here you are minding your own business and then whether you are up for a job promotion or elected office or win the lottery or whatever and some person that hates you decides they want to screw you over comes up with fake sexual lies, how do you take personal responsibilities?

I was throwing back the old line that victim has responsibility for the rape. I guess you won't be using that one.

Since you mentioned it though, how many men have been identified because of this movement? Anyone you know? Tens of thousands, thousands...try 100.

Why don't you go and find out? Why should you get to throw around questions and I am the one chasing around for the answers?

#metoo wouldn't be a movement spreading across the country if it was just a handful of men, now would it?

I find this too funny. This is something my mom would write haha. For the longest time, she kept wondering why I was "single". Then one day I brought back another boy (I'm a dude) who's been my husband for 6 years LOL.

Thank goodness my mom hasn't found twitter yet.

I don't know. I think it's been pretty effective for the most part and has caught up some women as well as serial offenders like Cosby etc.

The backlash part would be against the small percentage trying to be "cool" like the nutjob that went after Aziz Ansari, mattress girl and so forth.

Clearly the movement is new and needs to mature past the lynch mob phase but it's here to stay and long overdue.

A round of applause to you, my friend.

Follow all the same rules we are supposed to. Don't be alone with a woman - she might accuse you. Don't drink with women, you're making yourself vulnerable, so on and so forth.

If Brett hadn't been partying the way he was he couldn't get accused, right?

I cringe for her son and I would never have posted such a thing about my two Navy sons. Actually I never posted anything about them except happy birthday on FB and congrats on the day they graduated from bootcamp.
