I watched the video and I’m not even sure what he’s talking about. He seems to be criticising the #metoo campaign because he says people aren’t naming names and giving specifics. Has he been living under a rock? I don’t know how many people have been named over the last few months. From Harvey Weinstein, Dustin Hoffman, Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K. All of these people and more in fact:

He’s opposed to sexual harassment and assault and he’s in favour of women telling their stories and naming names. So what’s his issue with the #MeToo campaign? It seems the only reason he doesn’t like it is because it’s mainly being driven by the left.

His issue is that people are using the hashtag with no evidence of their claims. Many of the posts are faked.
-
He’s not saying that at all. He’s saying these women should be saying exactly who did it and what exactly they did. Watch 7:55 onwards of the video where he summarise exactly what his issue is. He’s [i]encouraging[/i] women to name names and give details. My point is I don’t understand this criticism. Naming names and giving details is exactly what women have been doing haven’t they?

They have been giving [i]false[/i] names and [i]false[/i] information in many cases. In other cases, they provide no context at all.

He named several occasions where names were not given and its also about not giving specifics. He talked about how people have different standards and when people don't give specifics it's hard to tell if it was real sexual assault.

So every single women should name names in every single case? Is that what he really wants? Some women obviously have a hard time talking about it. It’s a difficult thing to talk about I imagine. But the majority of women [i]have[/i] named their accusers. I thought most people on the right were opposed to naming them anyway? They all cry about “innocent until proven guilty” and “naming them will ruin their career”. Also the majority of women/men in the campaign [i]have[/i] been giving specifics. They’ve told very graphic stories of exactly what these men did to them. You’ve only got to open a newspaper to read them.

Those women allowed themselves to be taken advantage of because they wanted to further their careers. Those women didn’t have to have sex and do all that stuff with those men if they actually stood up as soon as it happened. They took a risk “have sex with me and I’ll help further your career” why didn’t these women just deny the man? So now these women are crying about it after they’ve already gotten what they wanted because “muh feelings”. Ridiculous

Classic victim blaming. Take the Harvey Weinstein case for example. The vast majority of these women [b]did[/b] say no. Many times in fact. And when they said no he blacklisted them. They never got to make a movie with his company again. The #MeToo campaign isn’t the women who slept with men to further their career. Those women are staying quiet I imagine. This campaign is the women that bravely said no and suffered the consequences. In fact in many cases it seems these men often didn’t take no for an answer and r@ped or sexually assaulted them anyway.

Are you sure about that?

Lets just put it this way, if they don't want to name a person, fine. But if they do they better have some graphic details and proof because they'll be ruining that persons life, rightfully so if its true but that's hard to tell when it happened 40 years ago with no witnesses.
