Why won’t Matt Damon shut up with his gross comments about sexual assault?

Hello, it’s me, a woman. There are so many wonderful things about being a woman, like the clothes, makeup, shoes and freakishly strong friendships forged in the hellfire of harassment we constantly find ourselves in. It’s a whole thing.

Anyway, witnessing the resurgence of the #MeToo movement feels a bit like a miracle, especially after years of screeching into the void. So of course, some white bread actor had to come along and ruin it all.

Matt Damon, who's been on a press tour for his movie Downsizing (which incidentally looks terrible even though literal angel Kristen Wiig probably tried her best to save it) decided to offer his thoughts on the #MeToo movement. And unsurprisingly, his opinions are Very Bad.

He called sexual assault 'kind of' shameful and gross

First, Vulture reported Damon shrewdly commented there’s a difference between the "criminal behavior" of the likes of Weinstein and Spacey and the "gross" stuff like ass grabbing.

“Both of those behaviors need to be confronted and eradicated without question, but they shouldn’t be conflated, right?" he said before determining that "the other stuff that is just kind of shameful and gross."

Louis C.K.? He's paid his price. Al Franken? Whoa, we gotta hear both sides.

He says we should thank men who don’t assault women

Damon told Business Insider there are tons of them, according to the man who's friends with both Afflecks. I mean, yeah, fuckin’ Matt Damon, there's a spectrum, but it all matters.

Because the creepy 15-year-old kid who followed me home when I was 10 asking if I wanted a piece of his “Italian sausage” didn’t assault me, but he also didn’t stop when I told him to leave me alone. And while the middle-aged men who made sucking noises at me when I was 13-years-old weren’t technically acting criminally, they did teach me that my body is a public object.

He'd consider working with someone accused of assault

If you thought he couldn’t take it any further, he said he'd work with someone with allegations against them: “You know, it would be a case-by-case basis," he said, "You go, ‘What’s the story here?’”

It’s almost like women have learned over the years no one is going to listen when we tell them they’re violating our space. And if we're learning that, so are the creeps and the Matt Damons of the world.

So carry on, Matt. Keep using your logic and your analytical mind to take things by a case-by-case basis. But it's almost like your four daughters, whom you never stop talking about, will grow up learning the same exact thing.
