Thanks for this excellent essay. I have been making the same point for a while, but neither as eloquently nor with such excellent receipts.

Thank you for this much-needed perspective. The backlash to MeToo has shown how deeply misogyny is entrenched in society. It makes us doubt the women who come forward and protect the men. It’s infuriating to me. (Another obvious example is Trump.)
