#MeToo, we are told, is an important socio-cultural movement; we should believe all accusers as "survivors" and treat every incident of alleged sexual assault as a mass attack of white male privilege on hapless females. This mentality is so ingrained among the #MeToo and #Resistance left that protesters mobbed lawmakers insisting that their stories be heard in conjunction with the Kavanaugh hearings.
The idea was that any woman who had been sexually assaulted must be somehow weighed in the Kavanaugh hearings and confirmation vote. None of these women were claiming that Kavanaugh had assaulted them, just that they had been assaulted . . . and that Kavanaugh must pay. You know, for their victimhood or as a scapegoat or Christ figure sacrificed for the sins of the many. Kavanaugh's defeat was to be redemption for these women who had never met him much less been assaulted by him. He was to be the figure, the totem, of their healing. Burn him, and they are freed. Or something.
