We spend so little energy thinking about justice for victims and so much energy thinking about the men who perpetrate sexual harassment and violence. It is far too soon for any of the men who have faced the marginal consequences born of the #MeToo movement to think about redemption. We need to figure out what justice looks like in the court of public opinion, not for the sake of the offenders, but for the sake of victims. It is painful that these men think they are so vital to the culture that the public wants them to come back.
