The #ARMeToo Movement: Empowered Perpetrators Exposed at HSUS, MFA, and DxE

Abstract

At the height of the #MeToo Movement, allegations of sexism and male privilege in the movement reached not only the larger activist community, but the general public, through blogs, social media posts, and major news sources such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Guardian, and ABC 7 News. Chapter 8 explores this information for evidence of sexism and male privilege stemming from well-known, considerably empowered men in key organizations. Simultaneously, this chapter testifies to the possibility for change in social justice circles through collective, organized responses to sexism and male privilege.
