Less about him, maybe, and more about the article about him. Note: The texts below are a conversation that happened spontaneously and are shared here to illustrate the complexity of the #metoo ... well, it might be fitting in some cases to call it a bandwagon. Because each person's experience is unique and personal to the individual, the desire here isn't to deny an uncomfortable situation happened. It's only to offer an illustration of the kind of conversation some accounts of sexual encounters are encouraging - and not just between my friend and me. The back-and-forth is quick, the language is sometimes crass, and we're not being careful. It's just two people talking, having an honest reaction to an article published online in the tidal wave of the #metoo movement (a movement both of us support and agree with, but which we also both agree has its drawbacks). Corrections/clarifications/notes are in the captions. The texts are shared with permission from the other party.
"Sexual assault" should be replaced, for clarity, with "sexual harassment." What I meant, and what she understood I meant, was "something deserving of a public outing."
