People are right to be concerned that #MeToo has gone too far. There are few who don’t think the movement has done good work in exposing predatory men and encouraging victims to come forward.
But when an editor is forced out of his job because he published something controversial, or a friend of the accused suffers professionally for his kind words, we’ve gone to the crazy place and need to come back from it.
Predatory men are all over the media and the “arts.”
It’s a place for good-looking and amoral people.
It’s part and parcel of what they sell.
It practically defines who they are.
Harvey Weinstein was able to get women to have sex with him
in return for given them movie roles.
And don’t think for a
moment that the women who gave him sex were not aware of the bargain they were
making.
He was exposed before there was a #MeToo movement.
Afterward it was a way for the women who participated to
claim the virgin-victim status.
And now it’s become the tool to destroy the men that Liberals
don’t like, even the men who maintained their virginity well into their
adulthood, like Bret Kavanaugh.
