Maybe you haven't heard about identity politics. All white people are responsible for owning slaves.Amazing...men are such victims, aren't they?Where to start.
The Me Too movement isn't about you. It's about women finally having the support to come forward with their experiences of men misusing their power and authority to get --or try to get -- sexual favors. If you aren't doing that to anyone, you're good, no worries.
I have to disagree with you there. It may be the case that some women perceive MeToo in this way, but the I think the left as a whole would disagree. Here's one article which appears to endow upon 'all men' the duty of the preventing sexual violence: Not all men are guilty of violence and sexism – but all men have a responsibility to stop those crimes
As I mentioned in my video, some (if not most) of the MeToo stories are basically spiteful rants about non-issues like 'mansplaining' or 'catcalling', that the silent majority of women just aren't overly bothered about.
No. If you watched my video, you'd know that I disagree with the victimhood ideology of the left. What I'm saying is that there's no statistical grounds for a moral panic. Sexual violence has declined 60% from 1995-2010.

Yes,all men have a moral responsibility to help stop harassment. It's the only moral thing to do. You do know what morality is, don't you?
I can get behind that sentiment. What I take issue is with is the sly insinuation that all men are somehow responsible for people like Harvey Weinstein. That if we'd only stepped up and taken a stand, things would be okay. It's one thing to talk about endowing people with this responsibility, but why should it be men only who have this burden? If you're a woman, shouldn't you have the responsibility to prevent sexual violence too?
