Rapists being targeted first often occupy prominent cultural/economic positions and replacing them all in a big wave is expensive and and inefficient and creates chaos.

Not to mention that the chilling and balkanization of social networks in the wake of “drama” can lead to repeated crises of their own.

A metoo movement has good intentions by trying to get us to address our highly problematic sexual relations. It can be rather sexist (refuses to grapple with problematic women), and it often leaves behind a cratered and broken social environment that is a breeding ground for misinformation, bigotry, abuse, ostracism, and violence.

A metoo movement responds to our pervasive and severely problematic sexual norms by elevating them to a crisis level. The crisis causes action to take place, which is seen to some as a relief because finally something is being done! But this crisis mentality is punitive, destructive, and only serves to exacerbate the root causes of sexual misconduct.

So, yeah. A metoo movement is absolutely a crisis caused by poor sexual norms bubbling up into a problem with serious impacts and wide reach across a society.

It’s preparation.

Now that human craft have finally made it back to the moon for the first time in decades, human beings and development are set to follow.

The problem is that after fleeing to a new place, it’s hard to rebuild back to what you could have been. Especially when that new place is also xenophobic/exclusionary.

Refugees need a generation or two of rebuilding and growing into the new community to reach their full potential.

Unfortunately, the world has become very insular and hostile to newcomers trying to build a better life. Even ivy league NY liberals will destroy you for having a mildly different background than them, let alone the Putins and Trumps and their supporters.
