The danger of intemperate attitudes from some quarters amongst women-and it’s never the poor, downtrodden who have no voice -is that they will foment a backlash. It is perfectly reasonable to say there are false claims, misunderstandings and gradations. Totalisation is stupidity!

Says another man. Please stop mansplaining. Try listening for a while. Too many women have been silenced for too long.

I’ve taken care of women all my life; worked with them in places where western men & women show no care. Don’t be presumptuous to think your plight’s some inexplicable mystery. Men who assault women are criminals. But life is NOT therapy. You don’t get to define all the terms!
-
More mansplaining by a guy who clearly does not get it. So what you get to define and explain the terms of my life and that of other women? Just try listening dude.
-
Smug buzzwords & crackpot psychological terms aren’t real life. I seek no monopoly on defining anything. You don’t get to either! Stop childishly lumping all men together. Many women enabled those assaulters for years. This is a social problem not women’s problem with men!

Men have to be part of the conversation or it will just seem like us against them and nothing will change.

Being a part of the conversation is not Mansplaining

As I said before
#MattDamon and other men famous or not really have no business telling survivors of sexual abuse and harassment how to feel and should stop talking about it. Women are talking now.#MeToo

No shit. No one should tell a victim how to feel or what to do.
-
Why stop at equating it with rape then ?. You could go the whole hog and call it murder. How one feels and what actually happened aren't the same thing. If society is allowed to function purely on how a victim feels as opposed to what actually happened, we're doomed.
-
Sexual assault is just that- assault. It doesn’t matter the severity, it’s all inexcusable. No one has the right to tell people who have experienced any degree of assault or harassment how to feel or that their instance wasn’t traumatic enough to warrant emotions.
-
I hear you. However, no one has said any kind/level of sexual assault is permissible. And no one is trying to take away the victims right to feel as they choose. Matt's point is more nuanced than that.
-
The point in trying to make is Matt Damon has no grounds to speak about anyone’s abuse.
-
Y?. Do you believe he's never been abused?. Or that men don't get abused?. The culture of silence in abused men & the stigma that follows speaking out is so deep you might not understand it. But then, I'm mansplaining
-
I know men get abused and I won’t deny that there’s silence about it
-
That said, there's a difference between someone making a clumsy or unwanted pass @ u & a sexual predator. D survival of d human race depends on us making passes @ each other, for some reason men have D responsibility 2 do this. Not everyone is slick at it, some R downright clumsy

This seems like a personal thing between people who dated that feels best to step away from. They are all different things on a spectrum and if he shows he wants to be helpful, going after him or any man interested in being an ally is a bad idea.
