Abstract
This book is a revised, updated and expanded edition of #MeToo, Weinstein and Feminism (2019). In this second edition, I argue for the importance of understanding #MeToo in relation to an ongoing history of feminist activism and popular misogyny, which normalises and values men's abuse of women. I consider the consequence of #MeToo for accused men, notably with regards to cancellation practices and criminal justice, drawing on examples such as Harvey Weinstein, R. Kelly, Johnny Depp and Woody Allen, among many others. Two new chapters - on the long #MeToo moment and on survivor testimony - consider #MeToo alongside dedbates on popular feminism and misogyny in a range of contexts and reflect on the continued emphasis on survivor testimony in media coverage of sexual harassment and assault.
