I'll bet on the opposite.  The #MeToo movement, like all movements in the past, doesn't seem to know when to pull back on the throttle.  Accusing Uncle Joe of being a predator is the first crack in the meme of always believing women, regardless.  It was absurd in any case.  Women are not inherently more honest than men, and making that a rule brought out every opportunist in the body politic.  This may be the case where that becomes obvious, and that will hurt women who have legitimate claims most of all.  That's not to say that Uncle Joe is a paragon of virtue, but he's certainly not a predator.

Exactly so.
