So Matt Damon...
Damon came under fire for suggesting that claims of sexual harassment should be viewed differently from allegations of sexual assault in an interview with ABC News’ “Popcorn with Peter Travers.
“There’s a difference between, you know, patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?” Damon said in the interview. “Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated, without question, but they shouldn’t be conflated, right?”
The comments drew criticism from his former girlfriend and Good Will Hunting costar Minnie Driver, as well as Alyssa Milano, who popularized the #MeToo hashtag.
Thoughts?
I think Damon's focusing on the wrong thing. He's trying to rationalize about the perpetrators' feelings rather than the victims'. Agreed. And unfortunately when men chime in on the subject, for the most part, that's what we do. I think there's a little part of all us men who believe that when women speak out like this they kinda mean "us".
