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 this comes to Kenya, they will be carting whole Industries off to jail, not just individual men.

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.

I agree but I would not put Cosby on the evil end. 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.
