My view on it is that sadly, many of those “Coming forward” now are not accomplishing much beyond making a statement. Is the perp going to be charged? not unless there is sufficient evidence. I do not believe that waiting 30 or 40 years to come forward is particularly helpful to the womens movement, or in giving women more of a voice. But, I feel that it dishonours women who are in REALLY bad situations right now, who are attacked, beaten and raped all the time — with the excuse that it is the “culture” so we must not punish the perps. I certainly do not condone our society that has hitherto made excuses for men’s lousy treatment of women, but I do not have a lot of time for the “Me too” movement.
