Broadly speaking, feminism and greater freedoms for women have been good for business the past few decades. Women are champion consumers. They make for more docile employees. Women flooding the employment market has driven costs down. And they'll still do a large amount of the childcare and elder care free of charge. Business has been good, except for workers. And since feminism turned on working class men, their ability to confront business and ask for more wages and benefits was severely decreased--divide and conquer. This can explain the curious pervasiveness of derogatory depictions of men in popular media and the endless pandering to women.

But, as with the GOP's pandering to racists and evangelicals, the pandering to women has created a bit of a monster. Although they still live in a world largely conceived, built, and maintained by men, feminists feel they can grab power and steer things their way, by taking down powerful males. This, though, is not good for business, and there is uncertainty who will be the next to fall. Business doesn't like uncertainty. It doesn't like huge payouts. It doesn't like expensive movies and TV shows being derailed, and the laying off of hundreds to thousands of support personnel because of a feminist "win."

If the costs to doing business continue to mount up, #metoo could be a tipping point in the socially created artificial power bubble of feminists. Should be interesting to watch.
