Star Trek’s William Shatner is going where few men have gone before, criticizing the #MeToo movement.

In an interview with DailyMailTV, the 87-year-old Shatner said he felt that the #MeToo movement is taking some things out of context.

“But if you look back at things that were written and said 20, 30 years ago, it’s a different context,” Shatner said. “And you’ve got to judge it by that context. Rape and pillage, absolutely not, those are crimes against humanity. But saying ‘would you make love with me?’ and the opposing party says yes or no, I can’t fathom what’s wrong with that.

“It’s like saying would you have dinner, would you like to write a song with me, would you do an interview? I’m not insulted by you asking me to do an interview. Maybe it’s my mindset based on the years I’ve lived, but I’m trying to be fair and I don’t see the problem.”

Shatner did praise the movement for exposing hidden harassment in the entertainment business. “In 2018, we have the #MeToo movement, which I think is great, that these hidden forces are exposed and not to be allowed and women have equal rights,” Shatner said. “I’ve got three daughters, I’m all for that.”

He also suggested that the “firebrands” who have led the movement should step away and let more “business-like people” take over as spokespeople.

“I’ve got three daughters and I’m glad that they have more opportunity,” he said. “At the same time, it’s become hysterical. It’s a whole new culture. The whole business has changed. The whole man-woman relationship has changed to a severe degree.”

Criticized later on social media for being out of touch, Shatner refused to back down.

I’m offended that you used that without even understanding my issue. It shows ignorance. My issue is that women use me too as a weapon when they don’t get an autograph, when they don’t get their way, etc & the circus that ensues is comical and sad. aka hysterical.🙄 https://t.co/7AJgNcJCfY — William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) December 22, 2018

I keep asking who is policing it because there’s a lot using it for their own personal vendettas that have nothing to do with the points of the movement. I likened it to the French Revolution because it started with trying to right noble injustices & descended into chaos. https://t.co/MeYERCqReB — William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) December 22, 2018

Sue, you have a comprehension issue. Never said that. I basically said it’s going too far with some. I have 3 daughters so of course those issues concern me. It’s the ones co-opting it for personal vendettas. It needs to be policed or it will become akin to the French Revolution. https://t.co/YyXrwygv9s — William Shatner (@WilliamShatner) December 22, 2018
