This book is a revised, updated and expanded edition of #MeToo, Weinstein and Feminism (2019). In this second edition, Boyle argues for the importance of understanding #MeToo in relation both to an on-going history of feminist activism in both the US and UK, theory and interdisciplinary research and in relation to a popular misogyny which normalises and values men’s abuse of women. She considers the consequences of #MeToo for accused men, including in relation to cancellation practices and criminal justice, drawing on examples relating to Harvey Weinstein, R. Kelly, Johnny Depp and Woody Allen among many others. Two new chapters - on the long #MeToo moment and on survivor testimony - situate #MeToo in relation to debates about popular feminism and misogyny across a range of national contexts from the 2010s onwards, and reflect on the on the implications of the continued emphasis on survivor testimony in media coverage of sexual harassment and assault.
