‘Being Wrongly #MeToo’d Has Ruined my Life’
New York Post ^ | February 1, 2020 | Mike Tunison

Posted on 02/03/2020 11:14:21 AM PST by nickcarraway

Last spring, during my first week as a janitor at a Dave & Buster’s, I struck up a conversation with a co-worker who served 17 years in prison. Swapping life stories, I sheepishly divulged that I used to work for The Washington Post, that I had a book published by HarperCollins, and that I had been the editor of a popular website.

SNIP

For the life of me, I couldn’t begin to explain how I went from having a life and career I felt proud of, to being publicly shamed by my peers and punished for things I didn’t do.

In October 2017, I was one of roughly 70 men included in the ­Sh-tty Media Men list, a crowdsourced spreadsheet of anonymous, unvetted allegations of sexual misconduct and assault. No words can describe my astonishment at finding myself accused of “harassment,” “stalking” and “physical intimidation.” Even more agonizing was seeing this supposedly private listing swiftly leaked to the public via several major online media outlets as well as social media. The damage to my career seemed equally swift. In the decade leading up to the list, my work was regularly published by more than a dozen outlets. After the leak, that work screeched to a stop. Today, I write for only one outlet I previously contributed to; incom

1) He doesn’t seem to mention that the Fake News should be scorned by everyone.
2) He doesn’t seem to mention that he is now a Trump supporter.

And so we see that he has learned nothing.

Donegan is currently being sued by another listed man, Stephen Elliott, for libel and emotional distress. Perhaps surprisingly, I disagree with the lawsuit.

I see the list as a net positive for having removed some extreme offenders. Attacking Donegan for creating the possibility of false claims ignores the failures of established power structures that shielded abusers and made the list necessary.

He has learned nothing.

From the article:

I see the list as a net positive for having removed some extreme offenders. Attacking Donegan for creating the possibility of false claims ignores the failures of established power structures that shielded abusers and made the list necessary. Additionally, Donegan had no power to force anyone to take it seriously.

Not feeling too sorry for this guy.

I tried reading his lament but it is mostly incoherent rambling. I think he still supports #melookatme and thinks overall the list he ended up on is a good thing but just used improperly. He also throughs in mentions of suicide for added drama.

Does it follow that all wrongly accused have to become Trump supporters?

An article about being falsely accused and you blame it on … Excel? That’s rich.

Or he realized that if he didn’t put that in, he would be completely ignored, and it probably never would have been published. As it is, he was mostly bashed in the comments. One of them points out that his Twitter feed was angrier, and not as friendly towards #metoo.

He lost me when he said The List was a “net positive.”

By doing so, he’s implying all or most of the other men on The List can be presumed guilty of similarly vague, unsubstantiated claims from unnamed accusers for which he proclaims his own innocence.
What a cuck.

The fact that you use that last word, makes me think the same of you.

He is arguing that false accusations are acceptable as long as they advance The Revolution. As such, he should be happy that he was forced to change careers for the team.

The guy is a bona fide extreme liberal cuck. He hates himself for being a white male and still thinks the woman who ruined his life is some kind of hero, despite her malicious libeling of so many men. He is no different than the parent of a child raped by a pedophile publicly supporting NAMBLA.

He sounds like a bubble-dwelling, self-deluding cuck.

Kind of sounds like if they took him off the poo poo list and welcomed him back..he would go back.

OK, good. But there are so many people who hate Bill Gates (no one should be allowed to be THAT rich) that I fell for it.

I think so.

The Left is fueled by hatred and lies. This guy lived it. If he were to absorb that lesson and learn from it, he would see how much in common he has with Donald Trump. He would see that Trump is fighting the good fight for decent people. He would become a Trump supporter because he would understand how false accusations are a deliberate tool of the Left to ruin lives and advance The Narrative.

But he has learned nothing. He's probably going to vote for Warren.
