The me too movement failed to significantly decrease the amount of sexual violence that took place. It brought light to the issue but failed to stem the tidal wave of pain. I think the reason it had this outcome because many people are unwilling to think about what it would actually take, male liberation.
There's so much to say on what men need, but I really don't have time to write up a well cited post. If everyone hates this I'll delete it and rewrite it once I do have time. Most people who engage in sexual crimes are unaware they're committing such crimes, and this includes a staggering percentage of the male population. They can't change if they're unaware change is needed. Media often shows men doing problematic things like stalking women as romantic. Its possible a ton of sex crimes could be prevented with just some basic sex ed directed at men that includes discussions on legally acceptable behavior towards women.
The me too movement wasn't very prescriptive, probably because that would mean admitting that men need help. Its counterproductive to people who just hate men, if they think we're beyond saving then they won't consider it. By not considering it, they're allowing women to be hurt because of their bigoted ideas towards men.
Like I said, a lot here and I really don't have time to site a ton of stats. I'm hoping you guys can just talk about it and Google the stats. If people end up hating this because I don't have time, I'll take it down and make a new one. I'm looked at a lot of these stats the other day so they're out there. Its just fresh on my mind, maybe I'm a week or two even if this does good I'll put out a stat deep dive or something.
