Regarding my statement: "I had this idea that the victims of MeToo are unlikely to engage in wider issues of injustices other than the feminists issues, so I would like to be put right on that." You say: Why did you think that? If a women who say, supports the Palestinians is sexually assaulted, why would she change her political beliefs? For example, the outspoken MeToo victims are, to my mind, celebs, mostly from Hollywood at the start of this movement, with others joining in thereafter. Are these women politically aware and is there a left-right dimension in their thinking? Also, it is not the question of changing ones mind. That does not tell me if on balance they have also made any comments on wider issues, like you mentioned (e.g. Palestinian women) and importantly, do we have any examples of each (None/Some)? For the second question I posed, you say: The NY attorney general, an outspoken MeToo advocate, was himself accused It doesn't fall into any category that I find clarifying. I guess the point I am making is that the run-of-the-mill conservatives and other of the sort (non-progressive) seem likely to be perpetrators. Hence if one states that there is a problem, it should be addressed to this sector of the male population. There are obvious leads one can take from there ... just thinking this through ... Best
