I\u2019m really happy women are bonding, finding their collective voice, standing together in the #MeToo movement. No doubt there remain copious amounts of women who have a story of abuse, harassment or worse. Every time they hear #MeToo something is triggered within.\u00a0 Maybe this time they\u2019ll say something.<\/p>\n
The truly sad part is\u2026 it\u2019s not just women.<\/p>\n
And not to lessen or demean any women\u2019s experience, but being a man is even harder to stand-up and say, #MeToo.<\/p>\n
You\u2019d be surprised how many of us are out there. And it\u2019s not just, let\u2019s say \u2013 \u201cmore vulnerable types\u201d of men. It\u2019s big hearty \u201cmen\u2019s men\u201d as well. I know. I was one of them.<\/p>\n
Oh, wow\u2026 this is harder than I thought. I don\u2019t know if I can do this. Give me a minute. (pause)<\/p>\n
For me\u00a0 – a big macho football playing heterosexual\u2026\u00a0 I was drunk. Very drunk. It was a party with hundreds of people \u2013 men and women. I remember getting the most amazing blow job in the bathroom by this waitress that wanted to be an actress and thought that I was a director. I don\u2019t remember the exact date or the exact location or what the party was for \u2026but I remember that it was an insane party. And, I got drunk and probably a little more than a little high.<\/p>\n
I woke up in a bed with a cock in my ass.<\/p>\n
I woke up unsure where I was and uncertain as to my discomfort. And then I realized there was a man grinding in me from the rear. Slowly I began to comprehend my situation. And, when I realized who it was, I was stunned silent. He was someone I trusted. I was actually attracted to his wife. He was someone I was counting on for work, which I desperately needed.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t know what to say or what to do. I looked away. I pulled the sheet around me as I sat up. I rubbed my face stalling for time to think. I simply got up. Put on my pants, walked into the bathroom and splashed cold water on my face. I walked out, consumed in shame.<\/p>\n
Over the years, as I have heard other men come forward, I also heard what my friends really thought. I knew I could never say anything.\u00a0 I survived. It was a long time ago.<\/p>\n
But, every time I hear or see # MeToo, I am brought right back to that moment. I was violated. Yes, I was drunk. And I\u2019ll even own that perhaps I flirted somewhat with both men and women in my own cocky, playful way. But, I didn\u2019t deserve to be violated without my permission.<\/p>\n
So, I hear you ladies. I hear your anger. I hear your pain. But, remember that every time 10 or 100 women speak out, there\u2019s a man not brave enough to say\u2026 #MeToo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
