Let’s End The Hypocrisy of the #MeToo Movement

All men are sex addicts, right?

Men can’t be sexually assaulted by women.

Why does a large portion of society believe this?

And why don’t we ever talk about it?

You have a father, brother, son, or friend who is male — do you not?

You should care.

The #MeToo movement has a tremendous double standard.

Male victims of sexual assault are rarely given the justice they deserve — especially when the perpetrator is female.

But why is this?

For one, society propagates the idea that young men always want sex.

Young men are painted to be sex-crazed animals. Because of this idea, there is an underlying assumption that no man would turn down a woman asking for sex. (Especially from a young or otherwise attractive woman.)

By this logic, a young man “can’t be sexually assaulted” because he wouldn’t say no to a woman.

Obviously, this is completely untrue.

But this concept that “men always want sex” is extremely harmful to men and women alike.
