As a woman, I feel sad that it has come to this. This is a serious issue and people like Kangana and others have made it seem like people just make up stories.
When MeToo first came out, I was firmly in the camp of believe all women, now even I shake my head and am like not another one. I guess that is why witch hunts and trial by fire is not good and one needs to go by evidence/proof/laws. All this is going to do is make real victims even more scared and I honestly don't know if she was a victim or sadly just doing this for publicity and getting her face/name known. Which is a sad state of affairs for women.
It never should have been believe all women, but rather listen to women and then find out the truth.
Margaret Atwood (author of The Handmaid's Tale")
Atwood ... shares very specific advice for activists: don’t cast one group as “angels.”
“#MeToo is what everybody has known. It’s people saying out loud what was said in private,” the author of the dystopian classic explains. “Men have been behaving badly for a very long time.”
“But believe all women? Women schwomen—I don’t think you should believe all anything,” Atwood, 79, continues, referring to the “believe all women” movement that also gained traction on social media.
“It’s not fair to single out a group and turn them into angels. Sooner or later someone’s not going to live up to that, and it will be used to discredit everyone else who may be telling the truth. It’s more useful to say listen to all women and take what they’re saying seriously enough to actually do investigations.”
