As a guy with too many metoo hashtags in my past the first thing I thought when I read about this was cool, this is an issue that's front and center right now. What happened to me was years ago and won't ever happen again since I'm grown up and able to punch a lot harder than when I was eight, nine and ten. So obviously this campaign isn't my thing. But it is someone else's thing and it's eminently therapeutic to listen and help other's who've suffered in the same way. That said I don't think it is exclusive to women. I think anyone who feels vulnerable right now has a place speaking up here. I can't picture too many scenarios where an adult guy would feel helpless and harassed or threatened on a regular basis. Prison comes to mind. But if there are, then by all means speak up. If your past is closed, then time to listen and change something.
