This whole sexual witch-hunt going on is just that - a witch hunt.

It's right wing in nature, and it's meant to prevent any real social movement against the global corporate establishment from strengthening, let alone forming.

It's the underside to the debunked 'Russia hacked the election' idiocy.

Case in point - http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/12/16/pers-d16.html

"The campaign over alleged sexual misconduct is unfolding against the backdrop of mounting war threats that could unleash a nuclear catastrophe. A growing proportion of workers and young people confront staggering levels of poverty without any prospect for a decent job, even as Congress moves to ram through a massive tax cut for the rich. Every day, 115 workers die as a result of work-related accidents and illnesses. The ruling class is moving to abolish democratic rights and free speech online, as underscored by the decision of the Trump administration to end net neutrality.

All of this is being ignored in the campaign over sexual harassment. Class divisions are covered up beneath the claim that all women, regardless of their income, share the same “experience” of being oppressed by men, who, particularly if they are white, enjoy the benefits of the “privileged.”
The sexual harassment campaign is right-wing, antidemocratic and politically reactionary. It has nothing to do with the interests of the workers, men or women."
