#MeToo

12 posts11 participants0 posts today

Some good US politics news out of #NYC last night -- An older centrist establishment Democrat, Andrew Cuomo, who is a real piece of shit (corrupt as hell but also basically got #METOO'd out of office a few years ago and has since crawled back) got truly obliterated by a young upstart in the NYC Democratic primary for Mayor.

…”when the #MeToo movement began, in the twenty-tens, something changed. Powerful #men like #HarveyWeinstein were accused of serially assaulting #women & then actually faced punishment. Women came forward w/stories of #harassment by prominent #journalists & #SiliconValley founders, & the internet took up their cause. Men lost their jobs; some went to #prison.

[Then came the backlash]

The New Yorker · What Happened to the Women of #MeToo?By Alexis Okeowo

La police, "premier rempart contre les violences faites aux femmes", selon le gouvernement. Or, de hauts gradés abusent sexuellement de femmes déjà victimes de violences. Ni Darmanin ni Dupont-Moretti n'ont accepté de sanctionner les cas signalés malgré les appels des victimes, alors qu'ils auraient pu agir avant les tribunaux. Glaçant. disclose.ngo/fr/article/metoop
