This kerfuffle is missing some victims.

Who among the #metoo crowd speaks for

1. Workers.  No body who works should be subjected to abuse sexual or otherwise from fellow workers, management, and asshole customers.

2. Prisoners. Who speaks out for them? NOBODY! A prison sentence should never be followed by getting assraped. That's not part of the deal.

If these #metoo virtue signaling famous people never get around to ALL VICTIMS, then  it's just vapid virtue signaling and nothing else.

You add an abbreviated but very valid list.  Let's just say that no one deserves to be ostracized, to say nothing of abused, just for being themselves.  The powerful always lean on the powerless.  Making any class of the powerless unique merely makes the others invisible.

Women have certainly been among the most consistently abused and ostracized, just because they could be.  The same applies to minorities members of all types.  The issue isn't the victim's identity; it's the actors doing the abuse.  I don't see this getting resolved quickly, but a little awareness may be the best medicine.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
