He's at it again.

He's saying that one thing not talked about is men who are not predators. Well Confused Confused Confused

Substitute 'mugger' or 'burglar' for predators. Would we talk about men who are not muggers or burglars? No, because the default assumption is that the vast majority aren't. But apparently NAMALT needs a special category. What does that say about men...?

Yes please, I think all men on Mumsnet need a special thread where it’s all about us and how great we are for being normal decent humans. It’s really important for us men to be praised and lauded.

I think given his friendship/association with Ben Affleck and obvs Weinstein I'd be keeping my head down if I was him.

YANBU, I read that and I was like “Wait, what!?! Is he saying we are supposed to be venerating men just for refraining from sexually assault now?! ”

Just saw this and came on to start a thread about it. Sweet Jesus. He couldn't be any more tone deaf on this issue if he tried. Clearly one of those men who will Never Get It. Time to shut up now Matt.

I thought Minnie Driver's response to the Weinstein situation was excellent

I was mightily cheered by Minnie Driver's comments. She is great.
