[QUOTE="bmasters9, post: 296564, member: 77"] Have you ever considered that maybe those who overuse #metoo and #timesup are engaging in a cognitive distortion called mind reading? What I mean by that is that if someone has a fantasy about them (a private fantasy, with no intention of rape), some #metoo people might automatically think that just the fantasy implies an intention to rape or even an actual rape itself (again, distorted understanding of Matt. 5:28 taught in many evangelical churches, where it's taught that if you fantasize about a woman, you are automatically guilty of having relations with or possibly violating that very same woman, even if she is not even in your bed; this leads many people to think that if they are guilty of actual relations/violation just for fantasizing, might as well go ahead and do it, because they're guilty); I may have said this before, but the way I see that verse is that it means not to try to take someone else's wife away from him, and if your intentions are in that direction, that's where you're wrong. Unfortunately, some #metoo and #timesup proponents don't think that way, and I think that such a distorted pattern takes attention off those who actually were violated, and makes the false claimants become the headlines.
