I did not like this. This is an important topic treated in a messy way.

This takes a #MeToo movement-esque  basic storyline and focuses on the men who are exposed.

I think the author was trying to make a grand statement or say something important, but mostly, this reads as a defense of ain't-shit men.😩

This had the bones of a good story in there, and the author clearly understood the basics of the story. 

No one needs a defense of the bad perpetrators, especially when the victims rarely receive any justice.

The author clearly lays out that less than 1% of men accused are impacted while all victims are harmed 100% of the time. The debacle with Meg thee Stallion after being a victim of gun violence is all the proof I need that wr don't need to be worried about the impact of this type of public shaming on perpetrators.

Spoiler

The gag is that this isn't a defense as Michael is a turd and his actions were abusive and harmful while this text focused on framing his ex, misogynistically, as unhinged.
