Marcello was held to a different standard by the viewers because most of his vulgar language was expressly directed towards women.

As men we should realise that throughout history there has been a significant power imbalance between men and women and while the scales of that imbalance is far more even now than ever before, (at least in the UK) there are still certain aspects where the men have the “upper hand” and when it comes to sexual misconduct, women are far more vulnerable to men than the other way around.

As a result, men of course should be held to a higher account than women to readdress that imbalance.

As a man with some extremely close female friends, who was raised by a single mum and has a couple of sisters, respecting women and ensuring they feel comfortable and safe has always been a priority of mine. When it comes to safety, a Man is a Woman’s biggest threat. Men’s biggest threat are other Men.. Statistics show this.

So when men start crying about how they’re unable to say sexually suggestive stuff because the world is woke, because everyone is fragile, because blah blah blah maybe they should think of the nearest women in their lives and think how they’d feel if someone said some of the stuff Marcello did to them.

I am not suggesting Marcello is a predator, but some of his language could sound predatory and should be addressed.

I think if one of the biggest concerns you face is you can’t say everything you think because it might offend then I think you should take a look at your own privilege. Whining about people calling you out of saying sexually suggestive stuff that makes them feel uncomfortable makes you say like a proper baby.
