The #MeToo movement has a few notable characteristics:
- In every #MeToo case the perpetrator used, not just physical strength, but perceived "power" (jobs, careers, opportunities, etc.) over the vulnerable victim, explaining why the victim remained silent
- In every #MeToo case the perpetrator was a serial offender
- In every #MeToo case many more victims came out of the shadows once the perpetrator got exposed
- In every #MeToo case the victims had an enormous amount of detailed information, often with corroborating witnesses for circumstantial evidence
None of this exists for the accusations against Kavanaugh or Thomas.
We should also note that Clarence Thomas, by many metrics, has become the most conservative Justice in SCOTUS history. The boomerang effect.
