Pamela Anderson Slams #metoo Movement For ‘Paralysing Men’

[naomi24]

Pamela Anderson has blasted the #MeToo movement, claiming it is a “bit much” and that “people need to take responsibility for keeping themselves safe….. my mother taught me don't go to a hotel with a stranger….. I think this feminism can go too far. I’m a feminist, but I think that this third wave feminism is a bore. I think it paralyses men.”

Does she have a point? I think so. Well said her!

[margarettom]

I agree. Well said her!

[jim360]

I don't agree. Badly said her!

[Spungle]

She is absolutely right. And her mother!

[alavahalf]

Hey Naomi .. fancy going to a nice hotel ?

[alavahalf]

.. actually thinking about it .. I have got work at 06.00 am tommorow .. got to cancel !

[douglas9401]

Is there not one more local?

Of course everyone does need to take repsonsibility for themselves- within the law. The problem with what she's saying is that she's implying that any woman who is foolhardy enough to go to a hotel with a strange man, can only expect one thing to happen. that by definition rubs off on men. If that's the commonly held belief in womankind then men have every right to say ' Well what did she think would happen, everyone knows what happens if you go to a hotel with a strange man?' and that's not okay. Clearly that is not okay. Men need to be clear and supported in the belief that it's simply NOT okay to rape anyone. Anywhere. Whatever they are wearing. However much they have had to drink. We ought to expect a better society, otherwise we are bound to never ever get one.

One half of of them are stupid cows, and the other half are too loud.

Madness. Taken over by, "Wimmin," tattooed and body pierced and loud and arrogant.

[kvalidir]

There's only one loud and arrogant thing here Theland and it's not a woman :/

Have a listen to yourself. Disgraceful.

[Spicerack]

//Men need to be clear and supported in the belief //

Taught, you mean, klav.

[kvalidir]

I think boys should be taught by their parents and ideally by strong masculine example where applicable that it's not okay to rape people Spicey and that society needs to uphold and support that teaching. I mean surely you're not suggesting it's ever okay are you?

[Theland]

Kval - don't join the pack!

Superb answer.

As we know from the lengthy debates regarding famous footballers and their appalling behaviour, there is a standard thought process among men that if a woman goes with a man to his hotel room she should not only expect sex as a matter of course, but not make a fuss over it, because it was her fault in the first place.

Until society can raise a generation of young men to respect themselves, and the women they co-exist with, this Neanderthal approach, and the dreadful unpunished assaults it causes, will go on.

[Spicerack]

I'd suggest it's an innate feeling/knowledge in normal men. So they don't need to be taught.

[kvalidir]

I think I already have joined the pack of MEN and women who find rape a horrible and utterly inexcusable CRIME. Are you not a member then?

[andy-hughes]

Theland - // One half of of them are stupid cows, and the other half are too loud. //

Have you given your faith the night off?

[andy-hughes]

Spicerack - // I'd suggest it's an innate feeling/knowledge in normal men. So they don't need to be taught. //

Evidence - and assault cases - indicate otherwise.

[kvalidir]

Yes Spicey I do agree with you, it's innate amongst most men because that's what society expects. Viking society didn't expect that and look what was the norm there. We have to uphold high values with regards to personal assault otherwise it becomes normalised and that innate knowledge you talk of becomes less fixed.

[spathiphyllum]

I think most sain respectful people know it’s not ok to rape anyone

[Spicerack]

There are bad men, rapists, etc about. So women need to be careful out there.
