Matt Damon says we're not talking enough about men who don't sexually assault women

It seems Matt Damon has a lot to get off his chest.

Following a controversial interview where the actor suggested there was a "spectrum of behaviour" in sexual assault cases and they "shouldn't be conflated.

"We live in this culture of outrage and injury, that we're going to have to correct enough to kind of go: 'Wait a minute. None of us came here perfect,'" he said.

The interview caused uproar on social media, with fellow actors including Minnie Driver and Alyssa Milano condemning him for disregarding victims' experiences.

Now Damon has gone further and decided the men in Hollywood who are not sexual predators need to be talked about enough.

"We're in this watershed moment, and it's great, but I think one thing that's not being talked about is there are a whole s**t load of guys - the preponderance of men I've worked with - who don't do this kind of thing and whose lives aren't going to be affected," he told Business Insider.

"If I have to sign a sexual harassment thing, I don't care, I'll sign it. I would have signed it before. I don't do that, and most of the people I know don't do that."

It seems Damon believes men who don't sexually assault women deserve some kind of accolade, or perhaps just a round of applause would do. Well done, men, for not being awful human beings. It must be tough.
