Sigh. So many women are doing the #metoo thing on my social media. So many of them are blaming men, all men. A few are blaming the Patriarchy, which to me is not too much different.
As a man who was falsely told he was an abuser and then as a consequence was abused himself, I am triggered and angry. But that's much too involved and not black and white enough for a hashtag.
I understand that my feelings are primarily caused by a lack of empathy. Yes, I get it. I got it during #yesallwomen and the last nine hashtags about how much it sucks to be a woman. But all this debate is good for is to spread the word about how horrible men are, all men.
I'm trying to not make it about me as a man. But every time someone posts "Me Too," I think about how no one gives a shit about yeah, me too, because I'm a man, and according to social media, men are only abusers, and only men are abusers.
