Glenn Greenwald Says 'Whole Me Too Movement Was About Destroying People'


Does the term "lunatic fringe" apply to Greenwald? -- Don

In a lengthy interview with Glenn Beck, journalist Glenn Greenwald said the purpose of the Me Too movement was to destroy people based on unproven claims.

“The whole Me Too movement was about destroying people based on accusations that are unproven,” he said in the interview. “They don’t believe in free speech, they don’t believe in due process. They don’t believe in the standard Democratic processes, including the safeguards that our founders put in.”

The comment, made in an interview last week, circulated online Friday.

The Me Too movement, founded by activist Tarana Burke, is a social movement against sexual violence, harassment and other forms of misconduct, which was started as a way to disrupt rape culture and advocate for people to share their experiences. It was not started as a way to destroy people, but instead, as a way to show support to survivors. The movement is meant to show survivors of sexual abuse that they are not struggling alone and that so many others share similar stories, as harassment is ubiquitous worldwide.

#MeToo was/is a major step in the ongoing battle for women's equality. This schmuck's claiming it's only about the fringe of neurotic and extremist misandrists who leaped in is like 1960s men claiming feminism's Second Wave was about bra burning.
