Matt Damon: 'one thing' not being talked about is men who aren't predators [Poor Matt Damon, with his reason and his logic, they have no place here /s]

I'm proud of Matt Damon for finally pushing back.

“There is no hierarchy of abuse – that if a woman is raped [it] is much worse than if woman has a penis exposed to her that she didn’t want or ask for,” she said. “You cannot tell those women that one is supposed to feel worse than the other. And it certainly can’t be prescribed by a man. The idea of tone deafness is the idea there [is] no equivalency.”

There's is no parallel to be drawn. Ask Louis CK's willing participants if they'd rather he'd smashed their heads against his desk and violently raped them you psycho. Or taken outside to have their faces and bodies battered, nose and ribs broken in a prolonged non-sexual assault.

Seeing a pecker is nothing compared to that shit, it's nothing. It demonstrates what coddled lives some of these people live that they'd make a connection. It's so disrespectful to victims of violent crimes.

“We’re going to have to figure – you know, there’s a difference between, you know, patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?” Damon said to ABC’s Peter Travers. “Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated without question, but they shouldn’t be conflated, right?”

I can see the logic to saying that the majority of men don't sexual harass women, and not all men that sexually harass women are rapists, so perhaps labeling all men in showbiz (or all men period) as rapists is a little wrong. But it's important not to say anything that waters down the "all men are guilty" message.

men like Damon “simply cannot understand what abuse is like on a daily level”.

“There is no hierarchy of abuse – that if a woman is raped [it] is much worse than if woman has a penis exposed to her that she didn’t want or ask for,” she said. “You cannot tell those women that one is supposed to feel worse than the other. And it certainly can’t be prescribed by a man. The idea of tone deafness is the idea there [is] no equivalency.”

I'm pretty sure individual women aren't being abused daily, and if men cannot perceive the difference between two offences, say rape and unwanted butt-slapping, then we need to have a very serious discussion about the justice system as the crimes of women should only be tired by female judges with female lawyers.

They will say anything to keep their narrative going...
