Rapists being targeted first often occupy prominent cultural/economic positions and replacing them all in a big wave is expensive and and inefficient and creates chaos.
Not to mention that the chilling and balkanization of social networks in the wake of “drama” can lead to repeated crises of their own.
A metoo movement has good intentions by trying to get us to address our highly problematic sexual relations. It can be rather sexist (refuses to grapple with problematic women), and it often leaves behind a cratered and broken social environment that is a breeding ground for misinformation, bigotry, abuse, ostracism, and violence.
A metoo movement responds to our pervasive and severely problematic sexual norms by elevating them to a crisis level. The crisis causes action to take place, which is seen to some as a relief because finally something is being done! But this crisis mentality is punitive, destructive, and only serves to exacerbate the root causes of sexual misconduct.
So, yeah. A metoo movement is absolutely a crisis caused by poor sexual norms bubbling up into a problem with serious impacts and wide reach across a society.
