Abstract

Abstract #MeToo as a significant feminist movement calls us to consider what it—and the responses to it—reveal about challenges for feminism. In considering the strength and potential of this collective movement, we can draw lessons from contemporary commentary and from history, including the effort to combat sexual harassment through employment discrimination law. #MeToo may turn out to be the most powerful feminist movement of the twenty-first century. It brings to the forefront the depth and breadth of sexual abuse and harassment in our society and seeks meaningful structural change. It will only achieve that change, however, if its supporters can resist efforts to individualize what are at bottom collective stories and if they can respond adequately to competing collective counter-narratives.
