The reporters who helped ignite a movement reflect on MeToo's stunning success—and the enormous work that remains
Since October of 2017 we’ve been flooded with messages from women who want to tell us their stories. And there have been times when we’ve felt overwhelmed, because there’s no way that any publication, even a publication with the resources of thecould ever get to every one of the stories. So many systems have failed, and of course we want journalism to step in and do what it can. But journalism can’t compensate for an entire system that’s broken.
We also understand that #MeToo has become controversial. Basically, there are three questions about #MeToo issues that are totally unresolved. One: What kind of behaviors are under scrutiny? Are we talking about Aziz Ansari? Yes or no? Two: How are we evaluating this information? What are the tools we’re using to figure out what actually happened? And three: What’s the punishment or accountability that we’re going to use? Each of those three questions is a matter of huge debate.
I do think there’s a private reckoning that’s taken place alongside the public one, and in some ways the private one has been much more powerful. The public conversation about #MeToo has been loud and fractious and controversial. But in private conversations, whether they’re in offices or in bars or among old friends, I think what you hear is a much more searching and delicate reevaluation of old behavior.
