I'm interviewing an expert on the #MeToo movement. (Her book on the subject is coming out next month.) What would you ask her?
@estherschindler
"Are you doing this with the thought that some near term change might actually come from it, or are you doing it because even though the probability of actual change is tiny, not any opportunity to advance this cause can morally be missed?"
@Old_Dave Good question. Though this woman is more historian and chronicler than activist.
@estherschindler
She may be in a position to know based on contact with others, then.
There's a board where I post stuff that gores strongly against the grain, they tell me I must be a paid democrat propagandist (I'm not even a strong dem supporter) because they are pro-trump and I am not, but I merely tell them that no, my role is to ensure that not one of them can ever say
"I didn't know".
@Old_Dave You could just tell 'em, "Do the right thing because your asses will get sued if you don't."
I have strong personal opinions of my own about our human ability to create social change, but they don't belong here. I should keep this to the "what to ask her?" topic. (I'm an optimist, though.)
