Here is the rest of Peter Baker’s searing piece—a gift.
Is Mr. Baker Right? Is MeToo Over?
Here’s my favorite photo of Tarana Burke the astounding woman who started the #MeToo movement in 2006!
Fuck no. We will not shut up. We will not give in. we will not become the Handmaid's Tale (I don't want to be a Martha.) Also, I just got off Twitter/X (I had to because I was being trolled from morons who thought I was Karoline Leavitt, Trump's press secretary) and feel so much better. I'm at BlueSky now which seems friendlier, smarter, warmer. Join me there if you want!
No, not over. Delayed. On the back burner. Of course, voters are saying they voted Republican because of the economy. That's because they still know it's shameful to say they voted Republican because they're women-hating racists. But they are, including the women voters. They may think they're decent people. But if they voted for Trump they're racist and they're sexist. At the very least, they were willing to vote for a rapist and a racist.
We shall rise up and we shall overcome. But it's going to take time.
