Wtf? Plenty of metooist are strong women who are sharing stories of real rape and sexual assault. I hate to admit it, but many of them have had strength I did not have. I felt afraid to post experiences that meet the legal definition of rape (after I said no firmly and repeatedly, and trusted them only after they agreed) because I didn’t think they were serious enough and because I made peace with the guys directly rather than reporting them. I will likely delete this comment soon, as I do not want anyone questioning my choices, which I believe were right and just. People have done much worse things to me in my life. I’ve had much bigger battles to fight. I didn’t have any energy to be hurt by some horny idiots who did stop when I yelled and pushed them.

I think #metoo has been a very important movement to spread awareness about the pervasiveness of problems that need to be spoken of openly. It saddens me that it would be trivialized in any way by cases that merely involve an inability to say “no.”
