After Matt Damon's comments on sexual harassment and how it's being reported and treated in the entertainment industry with ABC News, Alyssa Milano calmly took apart the actor's comments on Twitter late last night.
As Milano explains in a pretty calm and logical fashion, "(it's) the micro that makes the macro."
"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. And they are all connected to a patriarchy intertwined with normalized, accepted--even welcomed-- misogyny."
Milano continues, saying that women "are not outraged because someone grabbed our asses in a picture," rather 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."
Damon has yet to respond to criticisms or opinions on his remarks, which you can read about here.
