For those of you that have been completely asleep for the past six months, any time a man does anything to a woman, comes onto her, sends a naked picture, touches, fondles, masturbates, does anything overtly sexual to her…
…chances are, a woman will come out and say that she was abused.

And then other women will hit the hashtag: #MeToo.
Okay, now I do not (and I never have) condone the behavior of certain men who have abused women physically or emotionally.
But a lot of it — at least according to Tony Robins — is pure bullshit.
Tony Robins said it himself: a lot of it is bullshit.
And I’m agreeing with him.
A lot of it is bullshit.
Like I’ve said many times before, if a woman is abused physically or emotionally by a man, that should be reported so the woman can get help.
But a lot of it is a bunch of crap.
And I know a lot of you are going to say, “Okay David, if you’re so sure a lot of it’s bullshit then give me an example.”
So, okay. Look up what Luc Robitaille’s wife did a few months ago (Luc Robitaille is a hockey player — I wrote about it here).
She basically accused Donald Trump of sexually harassing her. On Twitter.
Did she file a report? No. She just threw him under the bus.
Here’s another. Look up what happened to Aziz Ansari.
That one might be a little more controversial, but Aziz Ansari is a comedian who went on a date with a young woman, and they ended up having sex.
Did he force himself on her? No. But she says she felt pressured.
So what does she do? She goes to the media and makes him out to be a predator.
So yes, a lot of it is a bunch of people throwing people under the bus, because, well, first off, nothing really happened.
It takes two to tango.
Women all day long are sending naked pictures. Men are never saying “me too.”
But it seems like when a man does it, a woman is going, yeah me too, I’ve been abused with pictures.
Real victims should have the support that they need.
Real victims, not attention seeking people, not people that weren’t really harmed physically or emotionally, real people.
Real people should be given the time and the space to heal.
I’m all for the #MeToo movement. That is real.
But, I’m 100% NOT for the ones that are just seeking to bash men more than men need to be bashed.
It seems like we like to bash the sexes nowadays because we’re so frustrated with one another.
Dating sucks.
Dating’s a pain in the ass for so many people.
It’s harder now than it’s ever been in my lifetime — and really, I think, harder than ever in history.

So people want to react. Both men and women want to blame someone.
Men and women are at odds with what they need to do and what their roles are.
Those are some serious things, but throwing someone under the bus for things that used to be considered harmless, pornographic or playful is, I think, just ridiculous.
Let’s keep #MeToo for the people who actually need the help.
Let’s keep #MeToo to all victims that actually need the help — all the women who have had trouble, all the women who actually were abused, all the women who were physically abused — so they can get the help and the support that they need.
But for the women that really never had anything ever happen, who just want to jump on the bandwagon or just want to get back at a man because you’re angry or just be heard or get some publicity for your Instagram account or whatever else you’re doing…
Well, that’s not the way and that’s not the reason why #MeToo was created.
So I’ll agree with Tony Robins.
A lot of it is bullshit.
A lot of it’s not.
But a lot of it IS.
So let’s support the people who really need help and let’s call out the people who really don’t need the help who are just looking to grow, because we’re all in this together.
