Kinda funny seeing Tavis Smiley, Russell Simmons being the only men to fight back against the allegations that I'm aware of other than Trump. I was joking with a friend how Black women stopped Roy Moore in his tracks, and now Black men are going to be the ones to take a stand against #metoo. I'm glad they're fighting back because there needs to be some balance on this issue. It's good that women are speaking out, but where does the line get drawn on random allegations of incidents from years gone by equating guilt? And what about the punishment? I'm not entirely comfortable with something that happened a decade ago being the deciding factor for a person to lose their current employment. As I mentioned before on here, I'm not a fan of Trump, but I'm glad he clapped back at Senator Gillibrand.
Something else that bothers me is the way the media is investigating and reporting these situations, especially the Tavis Smiley scenario. If I'm reading his situation correctly, he was sleeping with subordinates which is professionally a no-no. However, the way it was presented to the public was "hey, we got another one." As if he's some rapist, or someone who harasses, assaults, etc.. His situation starkly differs from the stories of others accused prior to him.
