So there should be a great number of powerful and/or wealthy, connected females going way back as well. Is this a current movement about abuse claims an expression of generations of only silenced women? I find the claims / data one-sided. Where are all the men's claims? Thoughts? Are women that pure as a gender? Or men that fallible by design?
A) did you hear about the allegations around Asia Argento abusing a 17 year old? I'm sure there are others

B) you are seriously overestimating the the power and number of females in power. Which is nice of you but still silly.

C) did you ever hear the term toxic masculinity? Or hear mention of 'men can't be raped?' The last few weeks show that society doesn't believe females when they tell their story - take a sec to think about how harsh that is the other way around.

D) trying to reframe the discussion about male abusers into 'but women can be abusers too' is an #alllivesmatter style douche move. But hey maybe you can read the #himtoo stories and find some likeminded people
