Gayle King is not known for being particularly knowledgeable or eloquent or current on social issues...that aside

the #metoo movement has not yet gone far enough...especially when far more concern is shown for the men that have been affeccted by the exposure than for the women they victimized..named and unnamed. for every woman that comes forward, there are 2, 3, 4 or more that didn't and simply quit their job, ended their career from being discouraged, lost the confidence to continue, were blackballed...etc etc

Weinstein singlehandedly ended Mira Sorvino's career by spreading a rumor that she was difficult to work with. No one would hire her. he cost her money. and that's just one case we know about

Matt Lauer, the Ren and Stimpy dude, Louis C.K....so many women that they demeaned and harrassed and molested simply gave up.

where is the concern or remorse or renumeration for them?

So no. too many women have been sacrificed at the altar of patriarchy. for patriarchy to end, men have to lose a little bit of footing...that's not about revenge; its about making space for fairness and equality. to make space, you gotta move. period.

none of these dudes have died. only 2 so far have actually been arrested...the rest are sitting in the wings waiting for the right time to make their comeback, which WILL be allowed because patriarchy

but there's no comeback for most of the women that have spoken out, so far. their names are not so easily unmuddied..they are forever scarred as the slut who lied to get fame and money

so no. fuck this misplaced concern for men who cling to toxic mores and behaviors and hide behind the social contract that says its "not that bad" or "not real assault". nope.

this shit is just getting started.
