Fair point but this is the case with any "movement" that gains steam. People looking for a cause, purpose or who want to be relevant jump on the band wagon. The original purpose is lost or watered down.
Me too isn't inherently evil, for the actual victims it's been therapeutic. But like anything that becomes political the agenda changes.
Even though it's a farce of a movement now, Me too has given a voice to the voiceless
You can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
It's not really about good vs. evil. It ostensibly was started to give victimized women a forum through which to share their stories as well as find the courage to report (historical) wrongdoings done to them of a sexual character. Unfortunately, it was coopted by a white celebrity, then many white celebrities, and eventually the entire white female elite Hollywood aristocracy, in whose grasp it remains to this day. To that end, the people who identify with them - other white women, most American but Canadian and West European as well - certainly benefited from their platform. But those weren't the voiceless or disenfranchised women of the world. Those women are in fact in America's inner cities, ghettos, housing projects, barrios, and trailer parks. Outside the U.S. we'd have to look at African and Middle Eastern women as well as those in countries like Brazil and Pakistan/India/Indonesia and so on, where it's still legal to burn your wife alive if she insults you or cheats on you.
MeToo doesn't care about them. It doesn't care about poor white toothless women with black eyes in double wides or black prostitutes with HIV and broken legs. They care about pampered white suburban girls having "safe" spaces on liberal arts college campuses and tech companies. Show me pictures of MeToo-style protests where there's more than a handful of token black or brown or Asian faces in the crowd. It's a sea of white wherever you look - the halls of congress, the DC mall, the streets of New York, LA, etc.
Sorry man we won't get a consensus on this one. For one thing there's only two women that post here and neither one gives a rat's ass about this movement, so we lack the demographics to discuss this in a way that feminists wouldn't airily dismiss as a chauvinistic, patriarchial, hypocritical one-sided discussion that we're unqualified to have since we were born the wrong gender. Since only they can Speak about it.
