Is it normal to think this woman’s advice to another woman was horrible?

I was reading people’s posts on a blog site and the poster was complaining about her boss not giving her the shift hours she wanted. One of the people who replied said something like “tell him you want the better shift or you’ll MeToo his ass.” MeToo his ass means she’ll tell people he sexually abused her. Now, I’m the first one to think sexually assaulting someone is horrible and severely punishable, but you’d think making it up is just as horrible and punishable.

My concern is that women “crying wolf” will make every women with a valid claim of abuse less credible. Even if she was joking, that not funny!

So, is it normal to think it was horrible that woman would tell another woman to “MeToo” a man for personal gain?

    It's reasons like this is why the whole MeToo movement was a bad idea from the start. It promotes the idea of guilty until proven innocent and it's gotten to the point where people can't tell who is telling the truth and who is lying or even who is just making a joke.

      That's the real tragedy, because real victims lose their voice and won't come forward any more, for fear of not being believed.

        It's hardly a new thing for victims to not come forward for fear of not being believed! That's been going on for ever

    The entire #metoo movement sickens me. I am female. I think it pisses off a lot of women but you don't hear about that much because people are afraid that if they tell the truth they will be accused of sexism/ antifeminism etc.

        I believe Hitler wrote that passage in Mein Kampf in 1928 long before he ever met Goebbels.

              Yanno, I've never been to summer camp. The closest thing was when I went to a week long church retreat over spring break. It was fun, but I couldn't do that all summer. I prefer unstructured time to just be lazy.

        'I want to sabotage my husband’s “secret” job'
        Are you referring to that post from about three days ago?

        "I was reading people’s posts on a blog site"
        Which blog site? WordPress?

        "poster was complaining about her boss not giving her the shift hours she wanted"
        Actually, she was complaining about her husband's new job.

        • I'm not the original poster, just in case you were mistaken. I was referring to that post, however.

          With your 3rd quote, it seems like the OP made a typo and omitted the word "husband" in between "her" and "the".

    Guarantee either this poster is a incel troll or the post referenced (if it actually exists) was made by someone masquerading as a woman to give women a bad name, give it a rest already...

    I dont see why sexual issues are given a separate catagory.
    No physical evidence.
    No medical proof.
    No DNA.
    No witnesses.
    No absolute date, a lot of times.
    Yet, no statute of limitations.
    I dont care if its catholic school, olympic gym practice, or bill cosbys dressing room.
    If something happens, you fight it.
    Then you report it.
    You dont wait a year or 20.
    You show up with fresh scars, blood and semen. Names places and date.
    No excuss.
    otherwise, bury it. Move on.

    Wow, that is horrible. I hope this MeToo thing does two things. 1) sharply reduce the number of women getting sexually assaulted, and 2) make guys so afraid to engage in sex with co-worker that the value of trading sex for favors or other personal gain goes to zero.

    Women can get away with sending a completely innocent guy to prison for decades by faking a sexual assault. Its happened plenty of times and will continue to happen. It's a crummy world we live in but it's a reality we have to face.

    Lonewolf research a little.
    Carl marx, was a jew.
    He changed his name and founded communism.
    Hitler was very much influenced by others.
    Oddly enough, the Russian
    madam blovatski.
    Though I don't agree, Hitler prefered to export the Jews to palestine, or Madagascar.
    He exported jews, till England stopped him.
    It's a good question though.
    Who he hated more, since every dime, every man, every piece of material used to make/run ' the camps'
    Was that much less he had to use to fight the russians.

    No because it actually works. Even if he hasn't done it to her, he's probably done it to another woman at one time or another. Men are pervs like that. One injustice is another's justice...so it wouldn't only be for personal gain.

      This is the most arrogant and sexist comment ever. He doesn't have to give her the damn shift if he doesn't want to. I am female but I don't view all males like that and I am not a traitor either. You are just another retarded #MeToo liberal in favor of false accusations. You are a disgrace to our gender. I am ashamed to be the same gender as you because of women like you.
