Nothing comes next, because holding the powerful to account is the opposite of #girlboss culture. The future is more Fearless Girl statues, put up by a PR firm for a gimmick stock fund by a rich Wall Street firm that shortly after settled a gender discrimination suit. Hilariously, the same firm later sued the artist when she tried to sell unauthorized reproductions of her work, because gently caress her trying to own her art when rich people might be inconvenienced.

The future is championing endless pointless gestures of identity while everything gets worse.

I would guess it means provide material support, i.e. money, healthcare, housing, etc, such that women aren't reliant on staying in the good graces of their employer to survive. Its impossible to come out against your abuser when your abuser controls whether you get to have a life or not. Material change might also include putting enforceable laws on the books that protect the victim from excessive intrusion, like interviewing 100 of her friends, family, casual acquaintances, third grade teachers and past employers to determine if they were a real rape victim or a Russian psi-op.

'Raising awareness' and 'calling people out' is dumb poo poo for idiots. PR campaigns don't accomplish lasting change, they just get co-opted by the already powerful.
