The moral of the tale of one boy facing consequences for sharing nudes without consent isn’t that #MeToo has gone too far, it’s that it hasn’t gone far enough
Any day now Roe v Wade is expected to be struck down in the US. Any day now women across more than half the states in the US risk losing control over their reproductive choices. In some states, women impregnated by rape or incest will be forced to carry babies to term. Women who miscarry will have to worry about being prosecuted for murder. Meanwhile, in Texas, Republicans have just passed a platform declaring homosexuality “abnormal” and are continuing to wage war on trans people.
If you think that all of this makes it a rough time to be a woman or a marginalized person in America, then you’d be very wrong. No, as it turns out, it’s a terrible time to be a young man. You see, it’s not women’s rights going backwards that we all ought to be worried about – it’s the fact that women’s rights have gone too far.
