Do not confuse sexual violence, harassment with the man's courtship for a woman - openly called for Hollywood actor Matt Damon and immediately paid for his frankness with journalists. Against him, the ex-beloved Minnie Driver and Alice Milano, who launched a flash mob in social networks against sexual violence with a hashtag # MeTo.
The actor shared his thoughts on what is happening in Hollywood and the cause of Harvey Weinstein:
"I, like many men, believe that there is a certain spectrum of behavior ... Is there a huge difference between active courtship and child molestation, violence, agree? You do not have to confuse everything in one heap, confuse and condemn indiscriminately! "
Alice Milano emotionally responded to the interview and posted a post on Twitter on her page with a hashtag # MeTo:
"Dear Matt Damon, we live in a world where the microcosm creates a macro world. We live in a culture that allows us to openly express our point of view at times of large-scale discontent and indignation - that's fair! Many women, including myself, became victims of sexual violence and every "spectrum" of male behavior that you talked about in an interview. These are painful emotions and they are associated with the patriarchy of society, misogyny, which has long been considered a norm and even encouraged. We are tired of being silent, we are outraged by the fact that someone grabs us by the ass and thinks it's normal. And now we are forced to doubt our point of view and sanity. We are outraged that we were not allowed to talk about this before, but now I "close my mouths". Cancer has several stages, some at the initial stage can be cured, and some - not, so urgent surgical intervention is required, now without anesthesia. We will do the same with "sexual harassment", harassment and any manifestation of violence against women. "
Against Matt Damon, and acted ex-beloved Minnie Driver:
"It is curious how sexual harassment, rape, attacks and" courtship "can be differentiated in men's heads. Most often you are deaf to the ongoing lawlessness and, as a consequence, it turns out that you yourself become part of the problem. Amazing? Unfortunately no".

Recall that as a result of a barrage of exposing stories with sexual overtones, getting major roles through the bed with directors and producers, many actresses and representatives of the Hollywood establishment decided to dress in black dresses at the Golden Globe awards ceremony. Western journalists are confident that the stories and revelations will continue during the awarding ceremony. We will hear not only loud phrases about gender equality, but also see new names on the "black list" of Hollywood.
