Has #MeToo failed?

Al Jazeera  

Feminist icon Germaine Greer on why she criticises the #MeToo movement. In this episode of Head to Head, Mehdi Hasan challenges public intellectual and feminist icon Germaine Greer on why she criticises the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and assault. Many feminists see #MeToo as a seismic shift, but Greer has questioned the value and efficacy of the movement, arguing that “there hasn’t been a reckoning … it actually didn’t get anywhere. Head to Head is Al Jazeera’s forum for ideas, a gladiatorial contest tackling big issues such as faith, nationalism, democracy and foreign intervention in front of an opinionated audience at the Oxford Union.
