The Me Too Movement has become mainstream in media and in culture, it appears that after every court case of accusations such as the Christine Ford hearing, various women feel obligated to come out from the shadows and retaliate as a way of fighting back. The notion that speaking out about these cases gives rise to women reporting it more often is true, however instances of reported false accusations has stormed the media with a binary option choice. Viewers can either support the allegations entirely, or completely deny it. The support from prominent influencers makes it more difficult to speak out against false accusations that are intensively backed by the community of the Me Too movement.
During the Kavanaugh hearing, there was a pattern amongst the accusers, constant disregard of the opposition story was repeated, even without dependable evidence as any argument against the objecter was seen as endorsement of rape culture. The Me Too movement has most notably made changes in music, sports, medical field, and in the military. The goal of the movement has drastically changed overtime from its original implication, and has persuaded people to believe the accusers before and without fact-checking.
The fundamental end goal for the movement was for women to speak out against sexual harassment and assault, and to also demonstrate the frequentness of these crimes. Currently the end goal is focused on specific people and on celebrities rather than regular office workers. This alludes to another question on whether it should focus on the most extreme cases or all cases of abuse, as a way to prevent the generalization of all men as perpetrators. Taking into account of the transformation of the end goal, many supporters have no end goal. Alternatively criticizing those in the spotlight at the time, without taking consideration of underreported cases.
The Me Too movement is ideal for women seeking a safe space while speaking about their experience. Every woman should speak out to encourage others to come forward about their own experience, however there is a barrier that should not be crossed when supporting and speaking out. The accused should be legally punished after due process, and to confirm the authenticity of the victims story. Numerous individuals believe due process is unnecessary for sexual harassment, and have a distorted view of presumtion of innocence. Fair trial is a legal right and without beyond reasonable doubt the accused must be acquitted from the charges.
