I recently read about what Henry Cavill said regarding the MeToo movement in an interview for GQ Australia and it was interesting to look at his perspective.
"I think a woman should be wooed and chased, but maybe I'm old-fashioned for thinking that," he admitted.
"It's very difficult to do that if there are certain rules in place. Because then it's like: 'Well, I don't want to go up and talk to her, because I'm going to be called a rapist or something.'
"So you're like, 'Forget it. I'm going to call an ex-girlfriend instead, and then just go back to a relationship, which never really worked,'" he continued.
"But it's way safer than casting myself into the fires of hell, because I'm someone in the public eye, and if I go and flirt with someone, then who knows what's going to happen?"
Of course he received backlash as a result of these comments and had to apologize and clarify what he meant.
In this case, You have to look at his position as a celebrity and his point of view as a man to understand why he said this and why he worded it the way he did. Regardless, do you think that the further stuff like MeToo develops (the false allegations I mean. Rape is bad, this is common sense), the more it will be a problem that everyday men will deal with? (idk if it is CURRENTLY a problem for everyday men, never looked into it). What do you think on what he said as a whole?
I also thought that this was interesting because I look up to Cavill as an actor and even though looks obviously aren't everything, he's definitely at the top. He also seems like a chill and well mannered fella. This also shows to everyone else that the best looking and the richest also have frustrations when it comes to dating and women in the west.
