The Me Too, the movement against sexual harassment and assault is now on to Morgan Freeman... The way I thought the man was a Saint. Anyway, what do I know? I thought Bill Cosby was the perfection of fatherhood too.. Can't wait for it to get to Kenya, I'm sure we will break records once our 'big men'come to the limelight.
BBI will solve it :)

I think all men are guilty of sexually harassment or inappropriate behavior either when we were young or even currently in our adulthood. Looking back,We( I) have made comments on waitresses,commenting on colleague's and /or friend's bodies in a suggestive way, hugged inappropriately etc. Men are a terrible human being species to ever grace the universe. If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Can't wait for it to get to Kenya, I'm sure we will break records once our 'big men'come to the limelight. If this comes to Kenya, they will be carting whole Industries off to jail, not just individual men. All construction sites, Matatu touts, Boda Boda, University students, Swenani.....

My take is that while it's all deplorable behavior and anyone who has been affected has the right to voice their displeasure or talk out the pain they have due to the experience - we also need to understand that while all these actions are deplorable - they are not "the same". they fall into degrees of "deplorability"... at the very evil end of that continuum are akina Cosby...drugging people the raping them... at the other end is any guy who misread a 'signal' and came too close to a girl and touched her suggestively. We have to agree that while all of these actions are not of the same magnitude. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

There is a context in Cosby's accusations that is missing for us who are hearing of them in 2017-18. There was a drug and sex culture in the 60s and 70s that would make his actions a misdemeanor when viewed in those times. I just think this movement is a very dangerous one and the backlash will not be very pleasant for women in general.

Women found fame and made money using the same men they are now accusing when age catches up with them as they spent their monies wildly. It is well known Women associate themselves with the rich and famous and can do anything to endear themselves even wearing see through clothes, making calls in the wrong hour, asking for favors for sexual returns, etc These women have now come to harvest more using the "Me Too" gossiper but none is saying they stepped on each other to have favors or maintain relations with the men they now accuse Men should shout back and accuse these Slay queens eyeing their money. Such women never got married and flirted all the way differently and with age they are hard up and no partners and can only flimsily accuse their employers https://www.msn.com/en-ae/entert...BBqrVLO&ocid=UP21DHP

There's a dilemma. Are we seriously talking about gender and sexuality here, and what's the message?
Or, are we reacting to a tactic of attack intended for certain specifics?
