Women Can Assault Men, Too!

The idea of men being assaulted is not a fever dream. It can actually happen. This doesn't happen to just women and I'm willing to bet there are a number of Hollywood actors that have been harassed and assaulted. Unless you're someone like Terry Crews, they probably don't say anything about the women accusers because they would be ostracized by the community and the media. With this new incident of Asia Argento, it brings up a little strength to MeToo, but it also hurts it significantly.

Argento was one of the first to accuse Harvey Weinstein of raping and assaulting her. Now, she has her own battle to deal with. She has a lawsuit involving an incident that happened in 2013 with an actor she worked with on a movie when he was a young child. I'll leave a link at the end of the blog. This 17 year old at the time, Jimmy Bennett, was supposedly harassed by the actress and then paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to stay mum on what happened. Stuff like sex and photos being half naked (both of them) were the highlights.

Age of consent in California is 18 years old. This is the kind of stuff that gets people in jail, but I doubt Argento will be sentenced. While you can accuse harassment and be accused at the same time, it kind of shows the double standard in actresses and why at times these movements are a joke. It's why I have a hard time believing half the stuff that these women say. You can easily be swayed and fooled by them, and the media will buy into it hook, line, and sinker. And the sad thing is I believe the Weinstein things happened, which I still do. I think this will hurt any movements, not just MeToo. The fact that this has hurt actress Rose McGowan says a lot about the movement of harassment.

Am I saying every woman is a liar? No. But it's seems like an easy excuse to fake a story or try and get quick money from this. One of the more interesting stories is that ex of Chris Hardwick. She tells her "story" and then she tells people a couple months later to move on. What the hell were you trying to do then, Dykstra? Anyways, I hope this brings to light that men can be assaulted and for guys to use the same movement stuff. It's not just one side always getting hurt.

A small positive does not help the big blow MeToo will get. How it recovers is another story in itself. And if this stuff comes to light as being true, Argento will have a hard time finding work and what she says will be looked at with a fine tooth comb.
