I have still yet to see an actual example of men sharing their story or supporting the movement with their story and being turned down. Can anyone provide an example of where that’s happened here?
The problem with this whole discussion is that without ample evidence of the issue being condemned, it’s seems like a non-issue, which poses the question: “Why is this being brought up?”
Often in response to a social movement groups come out in support, but many also come out with the express purpose of diminishing the movement by making accusations that call into question the moral ground that the movement stands on.
The “movement” is about highlighting the extreme prevalence of sexual harassment against women. Is there place for men in that? Sure. Is there reason for some women to be upset if they feel men are attempting to alter/control their message? Sure. Is there reason for men who clearly are not doing that and just want to share their story to be upset? Sure. But if even one of those side transgressions even remotely comparable to what the issue is about? No, no it’s not.
So it seems disingenuous and suspect when some people and posters come out, outraged over a side issue without providing any evidence that it’s nearly as big as the core issue, and essentially spending their time diminishing and disregarding the core issue while being hyper-focused on their own little cause.
