When #MeToo hit Hollywood first, and now the judicial system, it didn't just prioritise privileged victims. It went for two of the most influential parts of our culture: one that establishes dominant cultural narratives, & the other that decides what is socially permissible.

There's no doubt more focus needs to be put on predatory men in less glamorous industries - in *every* industry. However, it's not *only* that people prioritise the trauma of privileged women. It's also the fact that predatory attitudes in Hollywood/the law affect all of us.

In exposing sexually predatory male behaviour in the judicial system, we have a shot at finally putting the broom through an institution that has systematically disbelieved and victim-blamed women and children for centuries.

The female lawyers stepping up to talk about their own trauma no doubt know that there's more at stake than just their own career paths and feelings of safety at work. These predatory men are presiding over matters of domestic/sexual violence - they decide what is permissible.

The stark truth that now faces all of us is that a % of the men who disbelieve & dismiss DV & SV victims in their courtrooms may be engaging in predatory behaviour themselves. Many would have supposed that - but now the proof is building that it is rife at a systemic level.

That's why we need to look at how #MeToo doesn't just seek justice for the women directly affected by the predatory workplace behaviour, but how exposing that predatory behaviour actually may change culture, the law etc.
