The #MeToo movement continues to fluctuate, dipping and swelling with the news cycle, identifying powerful members of the media, politics, and corporations, abusive enough to garner a slanderous lead but perhaps not enough to receive a guilty verdict. The origins of the movement initially seemed pure and pointed: Could anyone doubt Harvey Weinstein was an abuser? However, with proven guilty verdicts and jail time has also come an onslaught of women accusing former friends or partners of everything from rape and sexual assault to verbal abuse, catcalling, and unwanted flirting.

While there is not a lot of daylight between these things, there is some. It is precious, it’s little, and it’s a shade of gray, but there’s enough difference and the #MeToo movement needs to find it, label it, and identify a plan to deal appropriately with each variance. Allowing all these situations to continue to blur together is to let some men off the hook when they shouldn’t be, and to allow other women (who have simply been scorned or on the other end of a bad date) to falsely accuse a man, altering his reputation forever.
