#MeToo: Accusations against men can’t be construed as guilt; calculus of probability should account for innocence

Firstpost  

If the MeToo movement feels the need to call out and castigate women whom it considers enablers of patriarchy and rape culture, one would expect it to come from the women who are part of the movement. Vij not only misrepresents what Mustafa wrote in her article “ Whoa#Metoo, Hold your Horses… ”, he charges her with enabling a culture of sexual assault based on non-existent evidence. Vij claims that Mustafa’s article tries to “delegitimise” MeToo and attempts to defend MJ Akbar. She writes: “I am convinced and impressed with the argument of the supporters of MeToo that it has succeeded in placing the onus on the man for acts of sexual harassment; two, it allows women to speak in the security of larger support on social media and three, creates an environment where the victim does not have to suffer from the insecurity of being a victim… MeToo has allowed journalists the space to name and shame predators in their work environment, and ensure action.” Vij dismisses this as mere tokenism, without giving us any reason why. Vij writes: “What’s the big deal about going into a hotel room, we all did in those days, writes Seema Mustafa in an article titled ‘Whoa #MeToo, Hold Your Horses…”.
