MAY mensahe si Alyssa Milano para kay Matt Damon.
Laman ng mga balita ang aktor dahil sa kanyang kontrobersiyal na komento hinggil sa pangmomolestiya, nang makapanayam siya nitong nakaraang Huwebes sa ABC News’ ni Peter Travers, kaya nagkomento sa pahayag niya ang dating Charmed star.
“Dear Matt Damon, It’s the micro that makes the macro,” tweet ni Alyssa, 44, nitong Biyernes. “We are in a ‘culture of outrage’ because the magnitude of rage is, in fact, overtly outrageous. And it is righteous.
“I have been a victim of each component of the sexual assault spectrum of which you speak. They all hurt,” patuloy niya. “And they are all connected to a patriarchy intertwined with normalized, accepted -- even welcomed -- misogyny. We are not outraged because someone grabbed our asses in a picture. We are outraged because we were made to feel this was normal. We are outraged because we have been gaslighted. We are outraged because we were silenced for so long.”
“There are different stages of cancer. Some more treatable than others. But it’s still cancer. Sexual harassment, misconduct, assault and violence is a systemic disease. The tumor is being cut out right now with no anesthesia. Please send flowers. #MeToo,” pagtatapos ng aktres.
Sa panayam kay Damon, inilahad ng 47 taong gulang ang kanyang opinyon hinggil sa harassment and assault scandals. Ipinaliwanag ng Downsizing star na naniniwala siyang “there’s a spectrum of behavior,” at sinabing, “There’s a difference between, you know, patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right? Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated without question, but they shouldn’t be conflated, right?”
Marami ang nagpahayag ng pagkadismaya sa komento ng aktor, kabilang ang dating co-actor niya sa Good Will Hunting na si Minnie Driver.
“There are so many men I love who do NOT frame the differentiation between sexual misconduct assault and rape as an excuse or worse- our problem. Such bollocks,” reply ni Driver sa isang netizen nang hindi pinapangalanan si Matt Damon.
“Gosh it’s so *interesting how men with all these opinions about women’s differentiation between sexual misconduct, assault and rape reveal themselves to be utterly tone deaf and as a result, systemically part of the problem( *profoundly unsurprising),” aniya sa isa pang tweet.
Ipinaliwanag din ni Driver na bahagi rin ng problema, ang pag-aalala ng kababaihan na baka guluhin ng mga makapangyarihang mga lalaki ang kanilang career.
“Look , weather (sic) you’re joking or not - women being worried about weather powerful men in my industry will still give them work if they speak up is part of the bloody problem,” tweet niya.
Parehas na nagsalita sina Milano at Driver tungkol sa sila ay nakaranas ng pangmomolestia sa nakaraan.
Noong Oktubre, nagbahagi si Milano sa Good Morning America tungkol sa kanyang sariling karanasan at kung bakit niya pinagningas na muli ang “#MeToo” movement sa social media. - Entertainment Tonight
