      All y'all who apparently sincerely believe that a guy can get MeTooed because of a harmless compliment--you know, right, that there's a difference between "Nice dress, looks good on you" and "Nice dress <licks lips, looks you up and down> it looks...good on you." Right?

      One is a nice compliment, the other is something that's only going to fly if you already know for certain the dress wearer doesn't mind, or you're already on fairly intimate terms with each other.

      But a harasser will swear up and down that any and all versions of "nice dress" including the most offensively sexualized of them, is "just a compliment." See: catcallers.

      See: any bully who knows how to threaten you without explicitly doing so and then pleads angelic innocence when you go for help.

      Context is everything here, and bullies and harassers do like to strip the context from their actions in order to make them seem perfectly innocent.

          But if you're a guy who is truly, sincerely afraid that a simple compliment will get you in trouble, try this: when you're getting ready to compliment a woman, think if you'd give a guy the same compliment. Or I saw this recently as "The Rock Test."

          Imagine saying it to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. "Hey, nice outfit." That'll probably fly. You're good.

          Now if you're all "But I'm talking about complimenting WOMEN that's different" congratulations you are part of the problem and no, that time someone got offended after you "innocently" complimented them was not a sign that MeToo has gone too far, it's a sign you're an asshole.
