Anna lays out her tiered theory of #MeToo (justice movement, revenge movement, labor movement, psychosexual movement) and argues it was really a dry run for eroding due process, plus a detour into David Hogg's pillow business.
- Tim outlines Me Too as a precursor for social control and compliance, not a spontaneous movement.
- Pagliano's point: men and women working in proximity is historically new, making workplace friction somewhat understandable.
- Tim layers Me Too interpretations from justice movement through revenge movement to labor movement replacing the old guard.
- The psychosexual read: women are actually angry at men for being ineffectual and indifferent, not just hostile and aggressive.
- Me Too functions as a provocation to men, but they won't take the bait because they're demoralized and non-productive.
- Tim's core fear with Me Too: it served as a dress rehearsal for eroding due process across professional spheres.
- Me Too's tactical power lies in making it impossible to argue with victims without appearing monstrous.
- Tim questions who society designates as victims, pivoting to David Hogg and the Parkland shooting survivors.
- Being a school shooting survivor doesn't make someone a permanent victim—victimhood status ends when you come out the other side.
