In the torrent of sexual misconduct allegations that have swept Hollywood, actor Ben Affleck was one of the many famous men to have been implicated as part of the problem. As a result, the actor says he’s now taking steps to examine his own culpability and pledging to uplift women’s voices. Speaking with The Associated Press, Affleck said he’s “looking at my own behavior and addressing that and making sure I’m part of the solution.”He also added that “more women need to be pushed to power” and that sexual harassment must also be “a men’s issue.”Amid widespread allegations of sexual assault against his frequent collaborator Harvey Weinstein, Affleck found himself embroiled in his own controversy after releasing a statement condemning the producer’s actions. “I am saddened and angry that a man who I worked with used his position of power to intimidate, sexually harass and manipulate many women over decades,” he wrote.
