Scarlet Johansen applauds Roman Polanski and Woody Allen but tries to ruin the career of James France. So metoo and TimesUp says it's OK for powerful men to rape children, but not touch the knee or speak boldly in front of grown women? I just don't get their reasoning.

Your mistake is assuming there IS reasoning; there isn't. It's virtue signaling, plain and simple. They're saying something safe and easily digestible that they never have to worry about anything coming back on them for. Fucking with Polanski or Allen can/could damage even actresses on their level, but Franco's not nearly powerful enough to get them blacklisted.

You have to step back from what their stated goal is to see what the actual outcome is; it's almost never about what they say it is, it's about upping their cache in order to gain personal advancement. It's just like with the Oprah speech; nobody remembers what she actually said, but everyone who cares remembers that she 'bravely' stood up to the President; which, of course, entitles her to then become the next President despite the fact that she has little if any known ability to lead on that level.
