I've seen a few remarks about the me too movement referencing people who oppose the movement. I cannot imagine a scenario where someone can view this as a bad thing. Women are calling out sexual predators and abusers and making so that future generations won't feel the need to hide it. I decided it would probably derail the threads to ask there so gonna put it out here.
Do you support the Me Too movement?
I've discussed this on other threads, but I broadly support the Me Too Movement. That's not to say they're without tactical, structural, or messaging errors, however. But with any large scale movement, this is pretty much par for the course.
The pros of the movement are that it has pushed a spotlight onto serial sexual misconduct (harassment, assault, and even rape) in several prominent industries in America, and it's given justice to people who haven't been able to get justice any other way.
The reality is that "Women are calling out sexual predators and abusers and making so that future generations won't feel the need to hide it." is probably overstating it. Firstly, it ought to be men and women, and to some degree it has (via the downfall of Kevin Spacey). Secondly, people aren't suddenly going to not feel uncomfortable reporting sexual misconduct against them; this is part of an ongoing process to get better and better rules and procedures in place. If anything, this is most beneficial thing to come out of the Me Too movement.
The cons of the movement are that there are a lot of schools of feminism right now, and some of them very strongly disagree with one another. This is actually both a pro and a con at the same time. I think the Aziz Ansari incident was probably the best example of the real clash of worldviews between even feminists on what the movement should be trying to stop. The thing that was most interesting, to my mind, about the Aziz Ansari incident is that there was a lot of disagreement over what consent is, what assault is, who has what obligation to do what, etc. I say this is a pro and a con because it's both. It's important that, as a society, we hash out these issues, which is the pro, but the con is that it starts seriously distracting from really unambiguous and grotesque cases of sexual assault.
Another negative aspect of the movement, which it picked up from the more fanatical elements of the "SJW" movement (for want of a better term), are these kinds of warped notions that come in varying intensities, like this an issue exclusively about women; that women should be the only ones speaking; men should shut up and listen; to confusing personal problems for systemic problems. There's an element to the SJW framework that has real problems with it, because a lot of it started off as very academic jargon and has now moved into conversations that are... not that. So I'm happy people are having conversations (and even more happy that very bad people's power is being destroyed), I just sort of wish we could unshackle ourselves from the more problematic aspects of modern SJW culture while embracing the part about advancing people's rights and challenging illegitimate, harmful institutions. But that's pretty much my only issue with the movement, or at least the other critiques are just derivations on this point (i.e. the people who insist that no one should at all be concerned with false accusations).
