to horrifying sexual abuse and our culture makes the costs for speaking about that abuse simply too high. So most women stay silent about it.

Me Too was a paradigm shift, and it is ongoing and not over. It told, and tells, women, "You are not alone, you are not at fault and you can speak about what was done to you."

Pendulums shift. This pendulum has shifted back away from the height of the Me Too movement. But the movement set the pendulum moving, it is something we are talking about, it is something we are thinking about, and because of the movement, that now can't be stopped.
