Since journalist Ronan Farrow helped to take down Hollywood predator Harvey Weinstein, the #MeToo movement has become a recognizable societal force, encouraging women to speak out against sexual harassment and abuse.
Unfortunately, some elements of #MeToo are nothing more than outlets for third-wave feminist, anti-male hysteria. Due to this, some genuine concerns have been grouped with non-threatening and insignificant behavior, as if they're one and the same. These generalizations are more harmful than anything. One of the major negative aspects of the #MeToo crusade is the tendency to wield real or manufactured victimhood as nothing but a timely political tool.
On Thursday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., revealed she had in her possession some private correspondence detailing sexual misconduct between Judge Brett Kavanaugh and a woman when the two were in high school. The disclosure threw the contentious confirmation story off track, casting doubt onto an already maligned nominee. On Sunday, after much speculation, the anonymous female at the center of the situation was revealed to be Christina Blasey Ford, a professor at Palo Alto University in California.
