In response to John J. Xenakis's 12/7 post here.
Sadly, women are often prone to ideological blindness, just as men are. There was a lot of extreme partisanship in the 90s. But maybe the Democrats, at least, are starting to get it on this issue, what with the resignations of Al Franken and John Conyers. They need to get honest about Bill Clinton.
If there is a backlash against #metoo and today's feminism, I will not be surprised at all considering the backwardness of many people in this country. 46% of the public voted for Donald Trump, even after the “pussy grabbing” tape was publicized, not to mention all the other things that made it obvious he was unfit for office. This backlash will only bring about another feminist surge in the future, some 20 years or so down the line. People need to start taking women seriously about sexual harassment, stop focusing on the hypocrisy of some and making excuses and start believing the victims.
