There comes a time in every generation when seismic change can move from being desirable into becoming the new reality: the end of slavery, the sexual revolution, the end of Apartheid. It is often hard fought because it presages a group of people having to give up their hegemony over others. MeToo could be such a moment, if enough of those directly affected and those who are not are prepared to get behind it. Without the unaffected, then it is likely to fail. Not because it requires the enthusiastic support of everyone, but because minorities tend to lose and it’s the shifting of the minority status from one side to the other that often determines the success of the change.
