The MeToo movement often claimed to be about victims and not about gender.

But when men have tried to come forward, we have found that's not really the case.

We can see this pretty clearly with Amber Heard. Not only did Depp accuse her of being an abuser, but we had multiple people come forward to "me too" her as well.

Johnny Depp was the first person in a long line of victims who was brave enough to come forward against Amber Heard. In the wake of his allegations, she had several ex-lovers, including three ex-girlfriends, come out and accuse her of things that were very similar to what she did to Depp.

And that is what the #MeToo model is supposed to be about. That is what we've seen happen over and over again for women who have come out publicly against serial abusers. Giving victims a voice like this can be a good thing, but we need to make sure we give all victims a voice, and not just female victims.

In addition, several of Depp's ex-partners came forward and said that he was one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. This is a guy who kept a costume of Jack Sparrow in the trunk of his car just in case he drove by a children's hospital and wanted to brighten up their day. (A custome which, IIRC, he had to buy himself from the studio). So we even had kind of like the opposite of a #MeToo in this case for Johnny Depp.

#MeToo is nothing more than a modern incarceration of old-school chivalry. We might not be holding doors open for women on the Internet, but we are still giving them preferential treatment in other ways. Not only is this unfair to men, but it also infantilizes women. This double standard implies that women are weaker than men instead of strong and independent. Making the woke movement and #MeToo a failure for both men and women.
