I suspect that in the end, little will change. The faces will be different, but powerful men will abuse the women because they can and because it is part of the culture of power. It always has been, since humans organized into groups. It would be nice if out of this came something that at least allowed a woman to lodge a complaint without losing her career in the process … but who knows? This might actually make it worse.
It’s hard to know, isn’t it! It’s in vogue in the current news cycles. But, as we’ve learned, and as Garry knows better that we, that doesn’t mean much. Memory is fleeting in this culture. And as soon as we assume a problem is getting fixed — like the military-industrial complex or the 2008 financial debacle that led to short-term gains for the American public, it often gets worse. We’ll see.
