Whilst I have every sympathy with the plight of abuse victims, the phrase 'she came forward on instagram...' is problematic. That is not how the law works - that's not how a decent society protects its citizens. That is how society folds in and rips itself apart. Abusive men have to be held accountable, but like Weinstein, Cosby et al, they have to be held accountable in a court of law... not in the court of public opinion.

Knowing looks, retrospective readings of memoirs and social media fuelled confirmation bias leads precisely nowhere. It isn't making anyone any safer. You want to role model what a good society looks like for the next generation of men and women, lawyer up, take down the abusers with evidence in the court of law... then talk about it and share the stories.

That was where #MeToo started and had widespred support from me included- it has now moved into hearsay and problematic groupthink - something that most people who've read history will associate with Salem, the Stasi and Senator McCarthy. And yeah, everyone at those points in history thought they were the good guys too.

Oh... and for the record, this isn't 'tone policing' - this is disagreement. Arguing a point is not oppression. I disagree , if not the with the content of the article, then with the intent of the article and its readership in general. And if you find my anonymity problematic, it means you're looking to discredit me based on who I am, not what I'm saying. We have words for that... they usually end in 'ism'.
