I was listening to Times Radio this afternoon and heard an interview with Rosamund Urwin in which she detailed what #RussellBrand ‘s barrister, Ian Winter had said to her immediately after the trial concluded, but also how his interrogation of the victims was pre #MeToo in terms of its tone that made it sound more like they were in the dock than Brand. It really showed how hard it is even in 2026 to hold men of privilege to account. There is still much to be done.

Russell Brand barrister reports himself to watchdog over clash with journalist

Ian Winter KC told Rosamund Urwin of the Sunday Times, whose investigation led to Brand’s victims coming forward: ‘I hope you are pleased with yourself’

I didn’t know until today that #PatrickStewart was an outspoken advocate against #ViolenceAgainstWomen (for his mom) and also for supports for veterans (for his dad). But it fits. The blog below has a couple nice videos of him speaking about it. It feels nice to have that common activism with him. I’ll make this my last post on him. Men, we have the power in our hands to stop violence against women and children. https://losingmyperspicacity.beehiiv.com/p/why-losing-patrick-stewart-hits-so-hard-for-women #RIP #StarTrek #Picard #BelieveWomen #MeToo

I believed in the general principles already but in a superficial way. Then I realised I was trans just as #metoo was happening and learning what it’s like to be a woman while everyone was talking about what it’s like to be a woman made me see how much of it I had been blind to.

微言微语 - 中国#MeToo推手黄雪琴刑满出狱 中国女权运动因官方审查大幅退缩转向地下化

中国「#MeToo」运动的领军人物记者黄雪琴在9月18日完成她五年的刑期。黄雪琴因揭露媒体产业内性别暴力问题的严重程度，遭中国官方依煽动颠覆国家政权判刑。如今服刑完毕已获释，据黄雪琴友人透露，她至今仍下落不明。中国女权运动空间被官方审查大幅退缩，只能从昔日的公开倡议转向地下化。中共官方言论封锁导致甚至出现像「女权禁词库」等的现象。

#HarveyWeinstein, the disgraced movie mogul, was sentenced in NYC to 15 years in prison Wednesday for a felony #SexCrime in another #MeToo reckoning. Weinstein’s sentencing for sexually assaulting one-time TV PA Miriam Haley followed a legal odyssey spanning >6 yrs. His 2020 conviction was overturned by NY’s highest court, citing testimony from other women whose allegations weren’t part of the case. A 2nd jury found Weinstein #guilty again at a retrial last year. #law

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange That reminds me of conversations back in the #MeToo days, so 2018-ish? Some people and even some journos got antsy about how to properly dis someone without being sexist, so they can't call them a 'prick' or a 'cunt' or whatever. The solution was reasonable, IMO. If 'whomever' has pissed you off they are an 'arsehole'. Because absolutely everyone has one of those.

Fallet Benny Fredriksson under #metoo (2017) Detta är den händelse som skadat hennes anseende mest. Som kulturchef på Aftonbladet var hon ansvarig för en kulturredaktion som publicerade hårt kritiserande texter om Benny Fredriksson, där anklagelser om hans ledarskap och påstådda övergreppsliknande beteenden framfördes. Efter den massiva kritiken och drevet lämnade Fredriksson sitt uppdrag och tog senare sitt liv.

Das ist ein bisschen peinlich, aber ich erzähle es jetzt einfach mal. Youtube-Podcasts haben mich wieder aus der Einsamkeit geholt. Den ersten Podcast, den ich nach meinem #MeToo im Sport begann, sind die #Jindaious. Nachdem der dort vermarktete Nidal geboren war, wurde darüber in der @szbot@muenchen.social berichtet. Ich lese natürlich nicht die SZ, aber das Hamburger U-Bahn-Fernsehen hatte die Meldung übernommen. Mir gefällt die interkulturelle Familie und die absurde Geschichte vom Influencer-Fussballprofi. Nach langer Zeit schaue ich heute mal wieder rein. Die Kinder sind größer geworden und Papa Nader ist schon wieder tagelang im Trainingslager.

@jens@social.finkhaeuser.de True! You see this a lot in the gendered oppression that led to the #MeToo movement, or the negative vs. positive peace framework of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A group of people that only values the superficial experience of steady peacefulness will often end up turning against the victims of unfair treatment, because the original unfair treatment could happen quietly within the superficial peace, but the conflict intrinsic to addressing the problem _can't_ fit in the superficial peace. So whoever breaks the illusion is the bad guy that the group turns on. There's a reason so many petty tyrants love this model, and the way everyone else gets quiet to appease them, the burden of peace always on their own shoulders instead of the tyrant's. My marriage was like that! I don't miss it!

sometimes, when it's quiet, I think about the fact that the whole anti-trans movement is really just a reaction to the #MeToo movement and how close it came to holding powerful men accountable for their degeneracy
