June 30: “It’s a Very Scary Time for Men in America”: Mobilizing Opposition to  #MeToo

Conventional wisdom holds that the #MeToo movement increased awareness of sexual  harassment and drove sympathizers, particularly women, to increased participation in the 2018  midterm elections. This talk examines who is the most motivated to act politically in the context  of #MeToo and the reasons why some are not motivated to participate. Using information from  surveys and interviews, this presentation discusses the political actions of men who feel that  the movement went “too far” in attempting to redistribute power in society, and women who  might be less likely to participate if they feel sanctioned or threatened on account of backlash.
