The backlash to the #MeToo movement was always coming. We know this because a backlash has followed every single step forward feminists have ever made. This backlash was always going to be big, too. Not only did #MeToo threaten a status quo that props up powerful men, it threatened these men personally, and – as it seemed to some – with reckless caprice.
“If somebody can be brought down by accusations like this,” a White House lawyer said shortly after Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against #BrettKavanaugh were made public, “then you, me, every man certainly should be worried.”
It wasn’t just men who were worried. The idea that systems that previously treated only #women, minorities and lower-class men unfairly might be capable of doing the same to high-status men was deeply unsettling to everyone.
