Is the MeToo movement becoming a form of mass hysteria?

I'm thinking specifically of the extreme reactions to someone being accused of something as vague as "misconduct". The unproven accusations come, so it's time to completely destroy all memory and cultural presence of that person. It sure seems a bit like mass hysteria to me.

@hlpflwthat Please don't call me an incel. I hate incels and have nothing to do with them or any MRA crap.

I'm simply saying that a person, especially a famous one, is turned against by the public before anything is actually proven. It's the court of the public opinion. It happens for all kinds of transgressions, but the MeToo has brought sexual transgressions against women into the forefront. A person is tried and convicted before any evidence even comes to light. Not to mention the political opportunism of it all.

More strawman. I gave you an opportunity to prove your point and you got nothing. But lemme help you out - the most common 'example' of this nonsense is mentioned a few times here. His 'trial and conviction' landed him on the SCOTUS. Not exactly the persecution of the picture you paint.

Character & dignity matter to a great many of us. If you are going to speak out against the notion that women should come forth after being sexually harassed & assaulted, use some fact and substance - instead of vague generalities and platitudes. Cuz that's what incels do.

I apologize for calling you that.
