It sure is a scary time!

You still haven't said where you live, but even here in the US, it isn't about being anti-male AT ALL... It's about being anti-pervert. And I'm pretty sure that no matter where women are from, most don't want unwelcome attention, or to be *****raped, or otherwise assaulted. You should probably stick to speaking for perverts, because you're not only completely unqualified to speak for women, but you aren't very good at it either!

"False allegations of sexual assault are rareโ€”a 2010 peer-reviewed study found that, of sexual assault charges made to police, the number that are proven false are between 2 and 10 percent, a statistic that does not include unreported allegations, which experts estimate make up anywhere between 80 to 95 percent of incidents. The point Lab makes in her song is backed up, then, by simple math: Even using the generous end of those estimates, if 1,000 sexual assaults occur, only 200 of them would be reported to police. Of those, 20 might be false. Which means that two out of every 100 allegations, regardless of who theyโ€™re reported to, might be false."

#metoo was a weapon.

You should move to the US. If a woman steps fwd here to say what a guy did to her in HS, they will shun her, and give him a lifetime seat on the Supreme Court.

...why would we men bother with them at all?

Don't then! Just stop trying! There's plenty of good men to go around (even for other men who just aren't into women, such as yourself). We'd rather not be "bothered" by the rest of them... which is the whole point!

Why?

Isn't the way to end harm to address the harm? Ignoring, denying, covering up only leads to more.

Exactly!

I don't know where you live, but women are not treated equally in the USA. In fact, the politicians currently in charge here are trying to take us backwards 100 years.

Women have notoriously underreported sexual assault, because it's usually them who gets blamed for it. Skirt was too short. She had one too many cocktails. She wore too much makeup...etc. I think the whole me too movement came about to make them less afraid of doing so when it happens. I think there are far fewer women who would just make something up than you seem to think there are. Even when they are molested, many are not believed. As a woman, I can say for sure that it happens far more than it should. Almost every woman I know has a story to tell about some creep who tried to violate her as young as 13-14.

Wow! Remind me not to come to your country. It's bad enough in my own, where we even have a president who admits to groping women, and has been accused by at least 19 women of sexual assault. 19 women who don't even know each other, can't all be making it up about one really disgusting man!

Anyhoo, the song is very good! :-

I hold doors open for people all the time. It's just good manners, but yes, I have known men who think that, just because you're nice to them, you want more, which is hardly ever the case

What is the most ethical profession?

I think any profession can be exploited, if that's a person's intention.
