RE: My Problem with the #metoo Campaign
One problem with metoo is that it happens in a backdrop of claims that %50 of all women experience sexual harassment. That is such a huge number that it diminishes the harassment they talk about. Add to that reports that 25-50% of all rape allegations are false, that means made up lies. How many metoo accusations are lies, an opportunity to take revenge on a man?
The biggest issue is that also men are harassed. Probably also 50% of all men experience sexual harassment or more because it is silent harassment. But we are socialised to consider that normal or even our own fault. Sound familiar?
In the post-modern world women are normative to suffering, not men. I struggle to find a single issue only men suffer from socially, that would be acknowledged by society as a problem. Whimp accusations would come from both men and women if anyone complains. Add to this that it's even a problem to make society see that men can suffer from rape, when the typical harasment of a male is to ostracise him from sex or to humiliate him for his urges or manners.
In summary, women are the norm of what society considers harassment and even suffering in general. If women don't acknowledge your plight you don't have one. If it couldn't happen to a woman it's not significant.
