  1. 💜 I Totally Agree with this EveryOne; lest We Forget, many men have been castrated either Psychologically (Affairs, Being Divorced and Financially Fleeced) or Physically (basically Bobbitted) EveryBody; personally I AM Single because I like Being Alive and my dangly bits downstairs still attached to me…to be honest (TBH) a “movement” is capable of creating a climate of Healthy Change; but a “movement” is also capable of Inciting WAR!!! it ALL depends on the approach of the “movement” for example Gal Gadot of ‘Wonder Woman’ fame threatened to Quit Performing unless “Harvey Weinstein” was taken out of the film making equation…he was Taken Out by Honourable Men who Listened to Gal; gentlemen who respect ladies, especially those who restrain themselves from chopping off dangly bits and killing men

  2. I love the #MeToo movement since it helps encourage women to speak up but what saddens me is how much the women who do speak up go through. They are almost always accused of lying etc. And even after all that many of those men accused go free or get a very light sentence.
