In Memory of the #MeToo Movement

All it took to bury the movement was for a leading Democrat to be accused.

Tarana Burke started it. Alyssa Milano carried it. Christine Blasey Ford amplified it. But Tara Reade’s testimony ended it. The #MeToo movement, once a viral grassroots effort against sexual harassment and assault against women has now been relegated to a conditional witch hunt used against any male public figure with conservative or even mildly right-leaning views.

All it took was a for Reade’s very concerning claims from 1993 — appearing to be “credible” as Fox News anchor Chris Wallace put it — to bring the movement to its knees.

And yet the same mainstream media reporters who were on the front lines in defense of Christine Blasey Ford against Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh made an about-face in light of recent and growing allegations against Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden.

This very moment in history marks the death of #MeToo. As Reade’s testimony keeps being swept under the rug, we invalidate millions of women who took refuge under the hashtag as they opened up about their true stories of harassment, assault, and rape. Is this what the movement intends to do?

I’m stupefied but, in honesty, not surprised by the hypocrisy at play. It only confirms what is the truth — that the #MeToo movement is leverage for questionable victims to target key individuals, while immobilizing true victims of crime.

Biden, who took several weeks to respond to the allegations from his former staffer, seems to have mustered up much nerve despite his obviously declining cognitive state. In fact, the memory issues we’re witnessing would be the only thing that explains why he can’t remember the following:

“For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real.” That’s what he said during the Kavanaugh debacle.

What’s more troubling than Biden’s mental state is the response of some adherents to the #MeToo movement. What you’ll read next will baffle you.

After Biden’s MSNBC “Morning Joe” interview with Mika Brzezinski, she tweeted the following: “The notion that all women are to be believed, which dominated the Kavanaugh hearings, was revisited. Should it be? Were Democrats wrong THEN or NOW?”

Brzezinski’s interview was no softball. She grilled Biden as one would expect the media to do. But instead of applying the congruent logic in comparing Kavanaugh’s hearings to Biden’s response, she flopped, questioning the very impetus for the #MeToo movement itself.

What we now know is this:

  1. The #MeToo legacy died with Joe Biden.

  2. Sexual-assault allegations belong to the feminists, the Left, and the DNC only.

  3. If nothing comes of this, some women will never see justice served.
