#MeToo has spread much farther than Hollywood in recent months, and as a result a lot of powerful men across many industries are now facing allegations of sexual assault. But while men are arguably being outed thanks to the empowering momentum of the movement, many of these disgraced dudes are using #MeToo as a weapon of self-defence—and that’s a problem.
Disgraced actor James Franco also tipped his hat to #MeToo when he denied the multiple sexual harassment allegations made against him by former acting students. While refuting the reports on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Franco took the opportunity to voice his support for #MeToo and Time’s Up by saying, “The things that I heard that were… not accurate, but I completely support people coming out and being able to have a voice because they didn’t have a voice for so long.
But when men use #MeToo in their statements against sexual assault allegations, they’re not-so-subtly suggesting that #MeToo has gone too far, resulting in “innocent” men being targeted by rabid and man-hating feminists, as Postmedia columnist Conrad Black “eloquently” suggested. Men who cite #MeToo, only to turn it into #NotMe are hoping that people will believe their claims of innocence because it seems unfathomable that SO many men are capable of such bad behaviour.
