Michelle Williams and MeToo

With all the ungodliness in the MeToo movement is mixed in the real hurt of women, both from what they’ve had done to them, and what they’ve done to themselves. Behind Michelle Williams’ speech is pain. She’s trying to convince herself as much as she’s trying to convince everybody else.

 The MeToo movement tends, though, to be all about what women have had done to them, and has served to excuse the actions of women themselves, as if they weren’t volitional beings at all. As long as you can blame somebody else, you never have to take the blame or the responsibility for your own actions.

 Aside from all the things Ricky Gervais mentioned involving the guilt of Hollywood, there is one thing that unites the majority of women in that room last night - most of them have voluntarily killed their own children to further their career.
