Admission Is an important part metoo movenment in terms of changing behaviour. It breaks down the #notallmen attitude that exists. When men in general think of harassment and assault we think of some creep and not the average person. With many men admitting to harassment from all walks of life it will make victims of harassment more likely to believed and the issue more prominanet as a societal problem as opposed to a small cohort problem.

If it is a sincere desire for atonement it shouldn't be rejected.
There's a time and place for everything. In a week or two, I'm sure a men-driven movement to discuss one's past bad behaviour and one's plans to be a better person would be well received, but the sentiment I'm getting from many women on my friends' list today is, "God, why can't you men just listen to us for once instead of trying to make everything about YOU?"
