Urbinanti stated,
Because everyone keeps asking me… YES, the men WILL be standing in solidarity with women on this wearing-all-black movement to protest against gender inequality at this year’s Golden Globes. At least ALL MY GUYS will be.

This question was no doubt asked because Hollywood men have not been the most supportive allies in the fight against sexual assault. In fact, many have grandly failed in their efforts to respond properly to the emerging revelations, using the old “as a father of daughters” schtick to absolve themselves of any culpability.

Even worse, others have been complicit or outright abusers themselves, as is famously the case of Brett Ratner, who served as a pander to older abusers like Russell Simmons and James Toback, or Ben Affleck, who protected his younger brother, accused sexual harasser, Tobey Affleck, while engaging in a little light groping of his own.

This is not to say, however, that all Hollywood men have failed as allies. A few, most notably Terry Crews, have confronted epidemic head on and, furthermore, revealed how they have also suffered from Hollywood’s misogynistic dynamic.
