Anyways, I'll express my view for others who may read without taking the same approach as you.

I believe that emotional issues can be used to divide as well as to unite. When people choose to take a point of common ground expressed in good will and turn it into something divisive instead of treating it as shared experience upon which to form bonds, I think they're not acting to solve the issue. Common ground, shared experience and allegiances are what realise improvements for the marginalised. If a guy has had a #metoo moment and shares it in good will, that's an opportunity to bond, or an opportunity to be divisive. I'm not moralising. I'm just saying that whatever is right or wrong, meeting a well-intentioned expression of shared experience with a rejection is no way to find common ground, make friends and reach a point of mutual compassion.

Can you share an incident of a man sharing a #metoo moment in provable good faith and being rebuffed for it?
