Upset? No, just following your unintellectual and tone-deaf argument.

What action? The action of saying #metoo? Pretty easy to follow you here. People gain status by expressing grievance, #metoo expresses grievance, others want to get in on “the action”

Seems like a straightforward question Cliff. Did you not understand?

So, assuming you understood the fairly plain spoken question Tinordi asked, you’ve responded with “Yes” that discussing experiences of sexual harassment with #metoo attached is an attempt to gain status. Not sure where the distinction between man/woman came in on Tinordi’s question, but you pretty clearly called dismissed discussing sexual harassment as “the action” others want to get in on, and either purposefully or accidentally suggested that all discussion of sexual harassment in this campaign is an attempt to gain status, therefore diminishing and mocking victims.
I know it’s hard to understand questions when you’ve got a cloud to yell at, but do try.
