I remember that things started looking pretty hopeful in the last few years.
First, there was the general annoyance with feminism after 2014, especially after shirtgate, gamergate, elevatorgate,...
Then, Cassie Jaye's docu came out to positive reviews everywhere outside of feminist msm.
Then after Clinton's defeat there was this general discreditation of entire mainstream media and ideology, of which feminism was a key component.
Then Betsy Devos did away with Dear Colleagues and even New York Times had to admit she was right........
And then #metoo comes out of nowhere and suddenly everyone agrees that women are supreme victims once again, and conservatives and even the alt-right jump on board because they like seeing liberal celebrities getting roasted on their own bonfire. #metoo ended up as one of the highlights of the year, and TIME magazine chose those few downtrodden multimillionaires as persons of the year.
And, seriously, screaming rape! harassment! groping! ... well, this is the oldest trick in the feminists' (or simply women's) book! It doesn't get more basic than this. And this oldest trick in the book finished the job spectacularly.
(And even some MRAs here supported this, because they think this will bring into spotlight male victims of harassment.... Sure. Remember how well gender-neutral domestic violence laws worked out for Earl Silverman?)
What do you all think now? Is this their last trick, their last gasp, or is there more to come after this, can feminism make itself relevant again, or will feminism perhaps reassert itself even more vigorously after this?
