Excesses are expected but if moderate women speak out about the excesses it is possible to get to scope back to where it should be.

Judith Curry - a woman in science since the 70s has some thoughts which I think capture where the scope should be:

Resist playing the victim card — instead,  focus on changing policies and weeding out the serial harassers.

it's a fitting attempt there TimG; however... it's lost in missing credibility; the fact Curry feeds on her own need to feel "attacked" by legitimate scientists so she can play the victim - it appears to validate her and offer the rationalization for why she went 'off the reservation' and became the darling of "skeptics" and Republican's clamoring for her presence before U.S. House/Senate committees (ala her CrazyAuntJudy persona)!

certainly #MeToo isn't about fake/false victimhood, right?
