Last year, amidst the Harvey Weinstein scandal, actress Alyssa Milano started a movement that encouraged women who have been affected by sexual harassment or assault to write "me too" on their social media.

"My hope is people will get the idea of the magnitude, of just how many people have been affected by this in the world, in our lifetimes, in this country," Milano said in an interview with The Associated Press. "The most important thing that it did was to shift the conversation away from the predator and to the victim."

The initiative took off fast as it united millions of women around the world who have lived through similar experiences.

While some simply used the two words as a hashtag, others, including celebrities like America Ferrera, shared the harrowing details of what they have been through.

Since the movement took flight, there have been many conflicting opinions about what it means for people at different ends of spectrum.

While some people's thoughts about Me Too have been applauded, others have received some flack for their statements.

More recently, Man of Steel star Henry Cavill is at the receiving end of some serious backlash over comments he made about the movement in an interview with GQ Australia.

The actor started by saying that "stuff has to change, absolutely, in terms of men's behavior," before adding, "It's important to also retain the good things, which were a quality of the past, and get rid of the bad things."

However, it was what he said next about dating in the Me Too era that infuriated so many people.

Soon after the article was published, fans as well as social activists took to social media to express their disappointment in the way Cavill approached the topic.

"Things that make me go #WTF. If your approaching to 'chasing' and/or talking to or picking up women leads you to be afraid a woman might accuse you of Rape and/or Sexual Assault this leads me to question your style of 'chasing' women," wrote one Twitter user.

"If you can't tell the difference between talking to someone & sexually harassing someone, Cavill, you shouldn't talk to them," read another tweet. "If you don't think you can date without 'accidentally' assaulting them, *definitely* don't date."

"No #HenryCavill no," wrote a Twitter user. "Where do I start with not only the exaggeration you will be accused of rape for flirting, but the issue with your need to want to chase women as it's a 'nice tradition' for you, a bit like fox hunting? Women do not need to be chased, we are human not prey."

Following the intense scrutiny, Cavill, who stars in the upcoming Mission: Impossible Fallout film, was forced to release a statement of apology. It read:

Despite it all, there were many women who took no issue with his initial comments and they also took to social media to show their support.

"#HenryCavill I understand where ur coming from," read a tweet from a sexual assault victim. "As a woman who has been raped and sexually assaulted I applaud u for YOUR honest opinion and YOUR honest feelings and willingness to open up like that. Pay no mind to the man eaters."

"#HenryCavill can woo me anytime," wrote a user. "I love the traditional old fashioned chase...shame the world has gone crazy!"

Another user noted, "I think it's gentlemanly and refreshing to hear that there's still guys left that like to court a woman. Stop taking what he said out of context #HenryCavill."
