We’re at risk of turning #metoo into rush to blame all men

The fall of Harvey Weinstein and other celebrity sex monsters feels like a cultural turning point. The social contract between men and women is being rewritten before our eyes. There is a new resolve to make the workplace more respectful and equitable for women - for everyone.

But there is also panic in the air, which could ruin this #metoo moment.

The harassment scandals have prompted frenzied reactions:

Farhad Manjoo at the New York Times says he has reached the point where "I seriously, sincerely wonder how all women don't regard all men as monsters to be constantly feared." Does Manjoo include himself? Are his female colleagues at the Times suddenly in constant fear of him?

Have noticed since Weinstein, the accusers have been piling on like flies on a dead caracas. It's really hard to tell who's legit and who's not. This is standard operating procedure for Democrats but now it's come back and bit them in the ass, hasn't it?

Seems the swamp is draining itself...

I'm surprised my old girlfriends haven't gone public about me trying to get to 'steal' second base.
In the future, the only sexual relations will be online-virtual sex, so no one gets offended. Seems safer that way!

You probably are not worth 50 million so nothing to worry about.

No woman in their right mind wants to be on the #metoo list but I could stand up and say ME TOO about a man who was famous for molesting any woman he employed and if I said his name EVERYONE in Salisbury would know the name. I needed the job. I went to work like a soldier every day of my life and so did the other women in the office. We helped each other with signals over the intercom when he entered the building. This WAS NOT A GAME and should not be thought of as such. This whole mess sickens me and I am very happy I am not raising daughters because it appears not much has changed in decades.
