You don't think it's just as bad, if not worse in Asia, Europe, Africa, South America and Australia (and probably Antarctica too)?

Is this just the ice bucket challenge version of not being an #######? Like everyone online gets to share about not being an ####### for a bit, then #######s keep being #######s because another trend came along and everyone says that caring about not being an ####### is all 'last year'.

I think this is more about looking out for 50% of the population that has been historically demeaned, objectified and assaulted. It's about trying to make the life experience of our wives, daughters, etc a little better.
I don't know if your post is sarcasm or tongue in cheek or what. If so, it wasn't executed well. If not, you may want to start practicing the whole "not being a jerk" thing.
As for me, I'm ashamed to admit that I've certainly been guilty of objectifying and demeaning women both in personal and business settings, particularly in my early 20's. Fortunately, my wife has never had to say "me too" and I hope with all the hope I have that my daughter will never have to (or hasn't had to already
).
