I Am a Feminist

Can we stop with the phrase “brought down by the #MeToo movement?” Abusers and predators and harassers are “brought down” by their own fucking actions. Framing perps as victims and ignoring the survivor-centered vision says more about your inability to acknowledge basic human rights. End of.

Not sure if that's true. If it was, roughly 200 prominent men would still be doing what they did.

And I'm sorry but "the perp" Al Franken WAS a victim of #metoo. And the women demanding his ouster are the ones who will pay for it. They lost a champion of women's rights. Aziz Ansari was guilty until proven innocent based on the emotion of #metoo. That's not right. So while a whole lot of scumballs got what they deserved, it was a wide net. So I'm not sure if it's as cut and dry as you made it out to be.

not really, if an abuser just abuses someone that is not what brings them down, I don't see this wording as being sympathetic at all just neutral

For decades the woman's side was not heard. Educate yourself.

Exactly. I wouldn’t want to be friends with someone who actually would say they’re anti-feminist because they’re too stupid to breathe the same air as me.
