I Am a Thinker

There may be some of that going on, but the abuse by the powerful without any real recourse has been one of the ugliest grimes on humanity. It's everywhere. Schools, government, theatre, sport... It would take courage to speak out - most people don't want others to know they have been abused, it's humiliating (even though it shouldn't be). I applaud it. If anyone abuses that power through false accusations, it is in itself a form of abuse of power.

No. I'm certain the problem is far worse than it is portrayed in the media.
All children need to be taught how to respect others from the time they can first walk and talk, but boys need special emphasis on respecting women.
Schools should role model and teach how respect is shown.
Fathers should model respect for the women in the family.
Women need to be very clear and assertive with their boundaries.
All men should know that it is never okay to make unwelcome advances.
One attempt is OK, but if the woman says no, ignores him or makes no positive response,
he needs to back off and not try again. No means no means no. No exceptions.

No, it's allowing women to have the courage to speak out. Women are sexually harassed and abused in every industry, in every occupation, and have been forever. I'm glad the atmosphere has changed so they can come out of the darkness that having a man with power over your job or your life puts you into by his actions.

I do. I do think it's also made some of people who have gone through some of those situations look bad.
