Utopia Talk / Politics / #metoo turns men into incels

Paramount Member	Sat Jul 14 02:34:32 Here is the latest victim. He says he scared of going up to a woman and talk to her because she may call him a rapist. So the alternative for him is to become an incel, or to force himself into dating an ex-girlfriend? - - Henry Cavill: Actor apologises after #MeToo rape backlash Superman actor Henry Cavill has apologised for claiming that the #MeToo movement has left him scared to date women for fear of being "called a rapist". In a statement, Cavill addressed the "confusion and misunderstanding" over his GQ interview. "Insensitivity was absolutely not my intention", he continued, confirming he holds women in "the highest regard". The comments sparked both empathy and anger online. What did Cavill originally say? The British actor made the outspoken comments during an interview with GQ Australia, as part of his promotional activities for Mission Impossible: Fallout. When asked how #MeToo affected him, Cavill said that while society "had to change" regarding the treatment of women, the altered landscape has left him feeling unsure about "chasing a woman". "I think a woman should be wooed and chased, but maybe I'm old-fashioned for thinking that," he admitted. "It's very difficult to do that if there are certain rules in place. Because then it's like: 'Well, I don't want to go up and talk to her, because I'm going to be called a rapist or something.' "So you're like, 'Forget it. I'm going to call an ex-girlfriend instead, and then just go back to a relationship, which never really worked,'" he continued. "But it's way safer than casting myself into the fires of hell, because I'm someone in the public eye, and if I go and flirt with someone, then who knows what's going to happen?" 'Absurd' or 'unspoken truth'? The comments proved divisive on social media - while many were quick to attack Cavill for his "absurd " views, a number of men echoed Cavill's sense of confusion. Much of the criticism focused on the way he appeared to conflate asking a woman out with committing sexual assault. Grace Petrie also attacked Cavill's belief that a woman "should be chased". But others felt that the Man of Steel actor, rather than speaking maliciously, had simply used a poor choice of words, and called for a more considered response. "I like to think I know what he meant," wrote Rhonda. Others expressed support for Cavill's comments, arguing the #MeToo movement had turned dating into a "minefield", particularly for Hollywood stars navigating a post-Weinstein era. Elsewhere, others, including Twitter user Rulian, called for a more nuanced debate, in which rational voices do not get "drowned out". http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-44819116
The Children Member	Sat Jul 14 04:32:09 shut his fuckin mouth up. piece of shitroided up chav claimin he is incell? LOL
tumbleweed the wanderer	Sat Jul 14 10:47:27 men aren't allowed to have feelings :p Superman's comments made sense to me...saying 'rapist' was a bit far, but his point is clear... as was Matt Damon's which should not even have been controversial imo
hood Member	Sat Jul 14 10:56:52 What he probably meant and should have said: If offering to buy a girl a drink, if flirting with her, if showing interest, if attempting a kiss when you think both parties are interested, is now considered harassment worthy of public shame, it's risky to try and meet someone new. And there's nothing inherently wrong about it. We may be able to talk about exaggerated degree, but it wouldn't be much of an exaggeration.
Dukhat Member	Sat Jul 14 18:16:28 Dude's last girlfriend was like 18. When you're sticking your dick in girls that young; there's a high chance of crazy. Not really a comment on metoo but being a fucking creeper.
The Children Member	Sat Jul 14 23:37:46 he isnt a dude. he is a chav. how the fuck can a chav try 2 claim that he is an incell. he is the opposite of incel he is as far removed of incel there can be!
Pillz Member	Sat Jul 14 23:44:27 Things learnt in this thread: TC's hatred of alpha males and work and xbox is deeply seated in his failure to approach women. And cuckhat really is the most celebrity-savvy poster, and is probably actually a real cuck.
The Children Member	Sun Jul 15 00:05:36 sorry i mean 2 say "he is a chad" chads cannot be incels. like oil can never be water
Y2A Member	Sun Jul 15 00:14:01 "Grace Petrie also attacked Cavill's belief that a woman "should be chased"." Lol, just looked up this chick and she's under no threat of being chased. It's also really funny how these hardcore feminists think they speak for all women when they talk. It is like they just have some crazy desire go see to it that no man gets laid.
murder Member	Sun Jul 15 12:35:15 Yeah ... men have no problem getting laid. But thanks for your concern.
