No, plenty of us get what he is attempting to say.
The outrage in this board is off the charts. Obviously the guy is paranoid with all these accusation in the entertainment business. High profile celeb must be nerve racking. One accusation against them, unfounded or not, then goodbye career.
Yes, it was poorly worded.
Morgan Freeman and a few others say hi. No means no and rape is rape, but let's nkt act like their haven't been proven false accusations of harassment and assault. Significantly few in the single digit percentiles, but when you're a celebrity of course stuff like that crosses your mind. You're a prime target for shitty people to take advantage of. And in the era of metoo when so many shitty people and stories have come to the surface many seem ready to say "meh all celebrities are scum" or to that effect when it comes to dating.. ignoring that yeah.. many are probably wary of being taken advantage of.What a fucking shitty stupid thing to say. And no, there's "nothing to get" on what he said. It's just stupid and blatant false, just be a regular decent human being towards women and you will have no problems.
When you're rich and famous anything could happen. You try dating under a microscope.Cavil was suggesting showing interest in a woman could get you accused of rape.
That's his entire point, that you could be flirting with them, and suddenly be accused of some kind of harassment.
Which is a dumb point to make. #metop wasn't about stopping men from approaching women in a mindful and respectful way.
I....KINDA get what he's going for there but thats a real bad exaggeration

What's he have to be paranoid about unless he either thinks those accusations are by-and-large fake or that he himself plans to do something unscrupulous? If neither of those are true, what in the world is there to be paranoid over? It makes no sense. Unless, that is, he either does think most of that stuff is made up and the same could happen to him or that he doesn't plan to behave and is worried about that being found out. But if neither of those are true, and he'd never do anything like that, and he believes the women that have come forward, what reason does he have to be paranoid about anything?The outrage in this board is off the charts.

Quick to stalk? Yeah I restrict my profile because i find stalkers super creepy.Lol I see exactly what you and your ilk are suggesting, no need to gaslight
And I love how when you say these dipshit statements there's no actual explanation; sorry it's hard for you to comprehend that women don't want to be raped & that you can't comprehend the difference between not rape & rape
Wonder why you limit your profile, wonder what other comments you have that you're afraid of people finding out
Either he's doing more than he was letting on. Or he thought MeToo movement was full of false rape accusations.So he doesn't want to date because persuing women is the same as raping them?
What?

Granted his presentation of this is terrible
Some men don't seem to understand that most women don't want to be perused on first sight. It's not that chivalry is dead or some bullshit, it's that most every woman hates being hit on by total strangers, unless maybe it is someone they find really attractive.
Anything could happen... but yet it doesn't. Unless you yourself are insinuating otherwise or are alleging that Cavill is here? Either way, again, no actual reason to be paranoid unless he thinks this stuff happens way more often than it does, when is exactly the type of thinking that makes it so hard for actual victims to come forward and makes it so difficult for them to be taken seriously when it does.When you're rich and famous anything could happen. You try dating under a microscope.

Women don't want to be raped, no shit
Sorry that you can't help but to jump to wild conclusions but that seems to be in your nature.
Do you really think Henry Cavill of all people needs to rape anyone? The guy is merely suggesting in today's climate his preferred choice of courtship may not be welcomed. As i stated earlier not all women react the same. A gentleman's approach to courtship is not universally welcomed anymore apparently. He is playing it safe and for his career that's smart. Don't get involved in situations unless he is completely comfortable being himself with that person (and being himself does not = rapist)

So, understanding that Cavill cares so much for his Hollywood career that makes him shit himself and over reacting, it means you are supporting rape? Nice reach.Lol I see exactly what you and your ilk are suggesting, no need to gaslight

Then how come all the outrage seen in this thread? I see what he's saying too... It can be perceived he is using his position of power to get with someone. Especially if the woman isn't famous.
What the flying fuck?
My friends and I have had this panic button system since we were teenagers, so if a date is going bad or the guy is too pushy or creepy, five other women zipline in for extraction. That we even feel like we need a system like that is proof dating is dangerous for women, so it's nice men are starting to feel the pressure too.
I understand what he's saying: when in a powerful position, like being a straight white rich actor, it can be hard to flirt without making it look like he's taking some things for granted.
Still, he could have chosen better words.
You can understand what he was trying to say without agreeing with him and thinking it was stupid regardless of words said.What a fucking shitty stupid thing to say. And no, there's "nothing to get" on what he said. It's just stupid and blatant false, just be a regular decent human being towards women and you will have no problems.
A hidden profile won't hide post history, just click on the number under messages.There's a reason his profile activity is hidden, defending rape looks bad

Exactly. It's well-documented that women are incapable of acting unfairly towards anyone.just be a regular decent human being towards women and you will have no problems.

Nah, what he said was dumbHe is saying he doesn't want to get falsely accused of rape, which in the current climate isn't an unwise thing to consider when your a Hollywood megastar trying to date.
The ignorance of some of the posters in this thread is unbelievable.
His hyperbole shows a complete tone-deafness and hand waves legit concerns in favour of the men, because it's so hard for the rich famous men to date, because they're all getting accused of rape now!He is saying he doesn't want to get falsely accused of rape, which in the current climate isn't an unwise thing to consider when your a Hollywood megastar trying to date.

As i said earlier, I'm not a celeb so i don't know. I don't know what happens behind the scenes and neither do you. I'm sure Hollywood stars have stories though that they share with one another and that's what caused him to make this statement (poorly worded)You're not going to get accused of rape for trying to hit on a woman. The hyperbole shows a tone-deaf misunderstanding of recent movements.
What are the statistics on famous people dating and famous people being accused of rape, because you must have them being so sure of this.

I honestly think he should have said "harasser" instead of rapist because old school courtship can be seen as harassment.
Not Necessarily.
Unless I'm misunderstanding what he was saying, I think he's implying that in the current climate, it's pretty easy for a movie star to be a target for an opportunist looking to make a name for themselves or take down a star they have an irrational hatred for.
this is insane, you really need to calm down.There's a reason his profile activity is hidden, defending rape looks bad
