"Having some power" is liberal language that rationalizes losses or ineffectual acts, trying to make them more than they are. You will hear it in every chauvinist pro-cop union and even at the pro-Biden rallies sponsored by "feminist" groups.

Dems took what I described and said "no we want an abuser so time to use every reactionary canard but wrap it in our lexicon". It had exactly the power I described and then it was done away with. MeToo is dead. It accomplished almost nothing. Nearly every abuser is back at their old station in some fashion.

Yes one can take solace in individuals who took inspiration and improved their own lives. You can say this for any PR movement that uses the language of liberation, honestly. You really can. But we should categorically reject the tendency to try and eke out "wins" from failure, loss, or "movement building" that wasn't really anything substantial in the first place. It is mollifying and self-defeating. The lesson to learn from MeToo is how to avoid repeating its failure. Otherwise one will just keep themselves occupied with failed liberal methods and tacitly promoting them to others. Embrace valid criticism or help us all fail.
