    So ever since the 'MeToo' movement started, there've been varying opinions on it. Supporters say it makes women less afraid to come out while critics (who I think are more than supporters) say it's nothing more than witchunt which makes actual sexual assault victims less believable.

    I didn't want to post in the Gentlemen's Club because I wanted to hear both sides. Will this lead to men being afraid to flirt with women in the workplace?

    I'm surprised we haven't seen similar things destroy lives here.

    #metoo was a powerful tool in exposing the wide spread assault in the cesspit known as Hollywood, but just as it had its powers for good, it has its powers for bad with false accusations, denying jury outcomes etc......

    like most things in the world it has its positives and negatives.

    Nothing to do with the fact you've been told to stop starting threads in tGC for a while then?
