RE: Should Guys Defend Aziz or Just Shut the Hell Up?

in #writing7 years ago

Tricky subject to comment on, to be honest. I am a 30 year old male and I can't really speak on the #metoo movement because I don't understand it from the perspective it needs to be seen from.

I know women who have been abused before (to varying degree) and it's embarrassing because even though I am not like that, I get lumped into the generalist hive with every other piece of shit male who decided to so something unsavoury.

In the case of Aziz, we don't know the facts of the situation or what really happened because we weren't there. But I think many of us men can sympathise somewhat and see ourselves being in that situation (or can recall a similar situation).

Everything is so murky these days, it's hard to know what's right or wrong, even with good intentions. Maybe Aziz misread the situation, we don't know. It doesn't sound like he intentionally did anything against anyone's will.
