"Men are also wonderful allies and... we are not going to move the needle at all unless we can engage men and women and however people identify in ways that let them understand how harmful sexual violence is and how we as human beings are responsible for undoing that.

"So men are very much involved in that and very much a part of the solution. This is not a war against men. We can't make the changes that we need... unless we have everybody engaged."

Sift through the bullshit feminist buzzwords and this to me translates to "We aren't going to take away men's rights as long as they side with us, everybody must be on board with the movement" that is a deeply disturbing attitude to have and yeah she's fucking lying.

Come on that's a great leap forwards:

"She told Hardtalk's Stephen Sackur that men were also survivors of sexual violence "

She did say she wanted to see more action taken against female teachers who sexually abuse male students:

There needs to be a close examination of the number of women teachers who have been publicly outed as sex offenders of male students.

At the same time, Metoo is essentially an extralegal vigilante movement, with all the dangers inherent to such movements. In questioning the purpose and necessity of the criminal justice system, the tragedy of Metoo has made its purpose and necessity all too clear.

She can’t really claim to be a freedom fighter when she has so much blood on her hands, in my opinion. She can’t have it both ways.
