Perhaps it might have helped had someone quoted the words in full context, like so:

“I think we’re in this watershed moment. I think it’s great. I think it’s wonderful that women are feeling empowered to tell their stories, and it’s totally necessary,” Damon said. “I do believe that there’s a spectrum of behavior, right? And we’re going to have to figure—you know, there’s a difference between, you know, patting someone on the butt and rape or child molestation, right?”

Damon pointed to Al Franken, the Minnesota senator who recently resigned after several women claimed he groped and kissed them without their permission. The We Bought A Zoo star said he would’ve preferred a Senate Ethics Committee investigation into the allegations, and expressed concern that people are “so energized” for “retribution” that they’re conflating different types of harassment.

“We live in this culture of outrage and injury,” Damon said. “You know, that we’re going to have to correct enough to kind of go, ‘Wait a minute. None of us came here perfect.’”

Is he really saying anything that lizards here haven’t already said in recent weeks?
