More often than not, the allegations evaporate after a while. It's about shining a spotlight on one's self, or on a target whose life would be easy to ruin. It ran out of control the second it became a hashtag. Again. That was not the #metoo movement. That was the media realizing that there is money in headlines and clicks related to powerful people being implicated in sexual assault and other misconduct. Or rather, that interest has always been there, but it was amplified thanks to the movement, and capitalized upon. But that's not the movement. --- Stop being so aggressively argumentative for no reason. - UnfairRepresent <cite>scar the 1 posted [p:925304137] in Don't ...
