Do you believe the #metoo movement is 'scaring' men away from pursuing relationships (either personal or professional) with women?

The issue is, people are expecting people to not be people, but, for them to be machines. There wouldn't be stereotypes if people didn't reinforce those overall false perceptions of the majority of people. I would argue that, open relationships also has a hand to play in all of this and the departure of how we as a society views love and relationships is biting us in the ass.

The "Me Too" movement, while having a good heart at it's inception, has morphed into something much worse in some cases but perhaps not all. In a sense, you can almost liken the Me Too movement to McCarthyism. Any perceived slight could be a life changer and career ender. Yes, good men know how to not be pigs, but we are also aware that any actions can be misconstrued and are making us nervous and perhaps walking on egg shells. This is basically comes down to a few bad apples did spoil the whole bunch in certain eyes. The search for Communists by McCarthy had the very same effect. Everyone was nervous. Afraid that their actions could be misinterpreted and accusations could come at any moment and said accusations can/will destroy a life with little to no proof presented. I am certainly not saying that there are women that haven't been sexually harassed/assaulted. Clearly there have been. It is because of this Me Too movement, that men are now extremely leery about interactions with women. This is giving women a dangerous power that can, and will, be abused and used for selfish reasons. Not all women, but some. If someone harasses and/or assaults someone in any nature, I fully agree that those attacks need to be reported. And they need to be reported right away. Not 30 years later. I also believe that once an accusation is made, let the investigation run its course. If there is evidence, it will be found. I also believe that if someone makes an accusation and the investigation determines those accusations to be false, then the accuser needs to face the law.

I feel that it makes people nervous. The question to ask though, is why are you nervous? Were your actions going to be potentially harassing or demeaning to someone else? Moderation in all things is important. #MeToo addressed a major issue that needed to be addressed, but it needs to be in check and directed in the right places
