Neil deGrasse Tyson Responds to Sexual Misconduct Accusations

132. Yes!

The MeToo movement was long overdue. Women's voices need to be heard, not summarily dismissed/discounted as has been the habit for eons.

However, if we turn the MeToo Movement into the MeOnly Movement then women cripple themselves by simply doing unto others what was traditionally done unto us.

That never works well and ultimately damages the original call for social change.

If an accused individual welcomes an independent investigation, is willing to be investigated, evaluated and judged objectively, then that's the best of all worlds.

I think we're naive not to consider that every movement/social shift isn't vulnerable to highjack techniques, chaos agents that will use a movement's sensibility for their own purposes. Al Franken is a case in point, a political hit job that many were far too quick to make instant judgments about or rationalize Franken's dismissal for political expediency.

Let's hope that that's not the case here.

Everyone should have a voice and everyone should be heard in these cases. Otherwise the change that most women want and demand will be strangled in the crib.
