<p>Last month, motivational speaker Tony Robbins was confronted by a feminist in one of his audiences for slamming the victimhood element of the popular anti-sexual harassment #MeToo movement and warning that its excesses would actually hurt women.</p>
<p>According to Robbins, some women are using the movement as a &#8220;drug&#8221; to &#8220;try to get significance.&#8221; Robbins argued, &#8220;anger is not empowerment.&#8221; He also noted that he&#8217;s spoken to &#8220;a dozen&#8221; men in power concerned that the movement would unfairly swallow them too, highlighting one businessman who apparently passed on a qualified &#8220;attractive&#8221; female job candidate out of fear.</p>
<p>A feminist who claimed she&#8217;s a victim of sexual misconduct, Nanine McCool, challenged Robbins in a viral exchange. The woman, attending a seminar in San Jose, California, blasted the hugely &#8220;influential&#8221; speaker for paying the movement a &#8220;disservice&#8221; with his apparently wrongheaded observations.</p>
<p>Robbins has <a href="https://www.inc.com/will-yakowicz/how-tony-robbins-helped-president-bill-clinton.html">counseled</a> the likes of former President Bill Clinton and tennis star Serena Williams.</p>
<p>&#8220;Who should throw the stone? You shouldn’t throw that stone if you live in a f***ing glass house,&#8221; said Robbins. &#8220;Is there any one of us that hasn’t done something that we prefer we’d not or that we’re embarrassed by or that was hurtful even if we didn’t intend it to?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Certainly there are people who are using it for their own personal devices, but there are also a significant number of people who are using it not to relive whatever may have happened to them, but to make it safe for the young women,&#8221; McCool said in response. &#8220;So that they don’t have to feel unsafe.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When you push someone else it doesn’t make you more safe, it just makes them angry,&#8221; argued Robbins. He &#8220;demonstrated&#8221; his point by physically pushing against McCool&#8217;s fist as she instinctively retreated.</p>
<p>&#8220;I thought, &#8216;OK, we&#8217;re going to fist bump.&#8217; Then he started pushing me,&#8221; the woman said of the &#8220;demonstration&#8221; to Vice News. &#8220;I thought he wanted me to show how strong I could be and push back, but that’s not what he wanted. He wanted me to move backward.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I initially started pushing back but he immediately pushed back harder,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;There was no way. He was going to knock me on my ass if I didn’t step backward so I quit pushing against him, I just started walking backward. As long as he was pushing me, I was moving.&#8221;</p>
<p>The exchange quickly went viral, and many progressives have used the exchange to signal that Robbins must be targeted and destroyed for his take.</p>
