Founder of the #MeToo movement claims she never said "believe all women" and doesn't subscribe to that idea.

The comments are interesting. First ones defending her against attacks by other women, that's sad to see.

Interestingly the comments also mention Emmett Till on why 'believe all women' is not accurate.

Well as the founder of the #MeToo movement I want to know what her position around Asia Argento is..
Because Asia was also a leader of the movement and was one of many women who accused Harvey Weinstein..

But oops! Turns out Asia was also a predator when she coerced a younger man into having sex with her and then tried to silence him with money...
Sound familiar?

And yet... when it came out that one of their leaders was a predator as well.. what happened?
Was Asia instantly and immediately called out for her actions, removed and cancelled from real life and the internet?

No... that treatment only applies to men!
When she was accused everyone circled the wagons and called for patience and calmness, stating to wait for the evidence before jumping to conclusions..

Imagine if the movement had the same consideration for men who were accused?

So yeah.. I'm sorry.. but the whole #MeToo movement was run on the basis of #BelieveALLWomen if a man was accused he was treated as guilty as charged, no investigation, no waiting of evidence.. men were automatically considered guilty.

So forgive me if after all these years one of the leaders claim "It was never about that"
I'll be sitting here holding X to doubt...

And the back peddling begins…..

The whole MeToo movement was rotten from the start, she ain’t weaseling her way out now

RandomYT05 · 2025-04-09T00:08:53+00:00

Well, she shouldn't have even made the movement a thing. It's only caused us more harm than good. Hell, not even high status men are safe from the angry mob. Johnny Depp anyone? Honestly I'm glad he destroyed amber heard in that lawsuit. Deserved.

Yeah, right. Tell that to my employer that fired me after working for them for four years as an IT admin, after believing a female intern that interned for six months. She stole my work, twice. It was easier to accuse me of "making her feel uncomfortable" than to do her job. I had emails from her, showing that she was lying. My female regional manager and a dozen executives attested to my character. And here's the rub... she was at a site 500 miles away AND I never once met her in person.

I got let go and she got to keep her internship, after going to be let go for plagiarism. It was determined that her stealing my work was due to me making her feel uncomfortable. Figure that one out, and if/when you do, please explain it to me.

I thought it would be common sense not to believe everything you hear but I guess common sense ain’t so common!

AdSpecial7366 · 2025-04-08T20:21:04+00:00

Lol, this is really fun reading the comments😂😂😂

Sam__Toucan · 2025-04-09T08:02:50+00:00

How many years did it take her to say this?

flashliberty5467 · 2025-04-09T15:48:16+00:00

Any person that makes false claims should be held accountable under defamation laws

If a person is falsely accused of rape they are absolutely justified in filing a defamation lawsuit in court

HandsomeJack44 · 2025-04-09T02:34:31+00:00

Never said that hey? Classic move.

'we don't LITERALLY mean kill all men'

'nobody FORCED you to get a vaccine'

'Obama didn't mean it like that when he built cages and walls'

Just_an_user_160 · 2025-04-08T22:29:23+00:00

It's too late now to say that.

Rhbgrb · 2025-04-09T07:30:53+00:00

I saw her address this and she had a lot of good points. If I recall she also didn't make survivors gender specific.

Vegetable_Ad1732 · 2025-04-08T18:23:35+00:00

I, sorry, but who cares? Does anybody think this will change anything?

Cearball · 2025-04-09T10:44:51+00:00

There seems to be a racial qualifier added at the end though.

Either way it's all a bit late.

RandonEnglishMun · 2025-04-14T09:42:13+00:00

Believe woman should mean believing their trauma and not to invalidate their experiences, not to go on a witch hunt against the accused.
