      I’ve said repeatedly that the #metooMVMT is for all of us, including these brave young men who are now coming forward. It will continue to be jarring when we hear the names of some of our faves connected to sexual violence unless we shift from talking about individuals [+]

      ...and begin to talk about power. Sexual violence is about power and privilege. That doesn’t change if the perpetrator is your favorite actress, activist or professor of any gender. And we won’t shift the culture unless we get serious about shifting these false narratives.

          My hope is that as more folks come forward, particularly men, that we prepare ourselves for some hard conversations about power and humanity and privilege and harm. This issue is less about crime & punishment and more about harm and harm reduction.

          A shift can happen. This movement is making space for possibility. But, it can only happen after we crack open the whole can of worms and get really comfortable with the uncomfortable reality that there is no one way to be a perpetrator.

          ...and there is no model survivor. We are imperfectly human and we all have to be accountable for our individual behavior.

          People will use these recent news stories to try and discredit this movement - don’t let that happen. This is what Movement is about. It’s not a spectator sport. It is people generated. We get to say “this is/isn’t what this movement is about!”

          Do we know whether the survivor came forward or someone else leaked the documemts? I'm glad she was exposed but I'm worried for her victim.

          I don’t think he did himself, actually. I think he was outed. I was responding to Asia and the NYU professor and others though. I hope he has support being thrust in the spotlight like this will be rough.

          Demystifying the heteronormative narratives of male masculinity that teenage males are allowed to explore their sexuality with older women and is no abuse but the reverse is pedophilic abuse?! Abuse transcends gender roles and age differences.

          Exactly, how many times when a story about a woman who abused a male child came out did we hear "Lol, where was these women when I was a kid" . Maybe now we will start taking these abuses seriously.

          What about when someone who isn’t in a position of power sexually assaults someone? Not every case of sexual assault is related to power. I’d say it’s more related to some people just being horny perverts
