Supporting #MeToo: Speaking Up Without Speaking Over

On this episode of the #DamnItCarl Podcast, B.C. Dodge explores a thoughtful and complex question: When can a white male respectfully enter the conversation around #MeToo?

From Brett Kavanaugh to Bill Cosby, from Harvey Weinstein to Louis C.K., powerful men have been held accountable for abusing their positions. It’s a critical and long-overdue reckoning.

B.C. highlights the positive impact of accountability but also struggles with where the line exists between supporting the movement and unintentionally dominating the conversation. Does speaking up as an ally help or come off as mansplaining?

Do women need another male voice saying, “Listen to women!”? After the Kavanaugh hearings, it seems some still do—which is disheartening in itself. But does male advocacy strengthen or hinder the movement?

B.C. earnestly asks his audience how men can support the #MeToo movement effectively—offering genuine help without overshadowing or harming the cause.
