I do understand frustration with Biden as President who had questionable interactions with women even if you don't believe Tara Reade.

But I feel like a lot of the sentiments in this thread are undermining the continued efforts of the Movement, the individuals involved in the movement, and, probably most importantly, the international nature of the movement.

Believing that you're succeeding when you're not succeeding is not without a cost.

When powerful people start actually being held accountable for this stuff (in actual meaningful ways that aren't just a slap on the wrist), then we can claim that maybe some progress is being made. As is, it's like claiming that progress is being made on climate change because more people accept that climate change is real.

My personal view is that you can't separate something like this from the power that allows people like Weinstein, etc to do what they do. You have to address the power in order to address the abuse.
