#MeToo had a vital function when it started. Harvey Weinstein was finally revealed as an employer who tried to cajole or force his female employees to have sex with him, and it avalanched from there. #MeToo was wonderful for exposing men in the workplace who were telling women if they didn't have sex with them they would never work again. Women were threatened with ruin if they did not comply, by powerful men.
I still think it could be a valid movement, but people in the feminist movement and people with huge political agendas have hijacked it, and we need to differentiate between the valid issues #MeToo first addressed, and the ridiculous warping of that movement. People in the Democrat Party, for example, are polluting what was a good and valid thing and using it for themselves, thus injuring and exposing to ridicule the women whose complaints were actually valid and provable.
