2023 Israel–Hamas war connection?

There is no proof or sufficient and true evidence to prove that infarct people (women)at the Re'im festival were raped or sexually assaulted or harassed Agirlwithabrain (talk) 20:18, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Not commenting on this claim specifically, but I also wanted to add that this change has been contested in the edit history (removed for being "unsubstantiated propaganda that is irrelevant to this movement" and then reinstated for being "whitewashing"). Additionally, this section really doesn't belong in the "Timeline" section and should really be in the "Criticism" section (if it belongs on the page at all).

• I'm not seeing the relevance of this Israel-Hamas war material. Last night it was reinserted by administrator User:K6ka as "whitewashing". This was not blanking as vandalism, given the edit summary "Removed unsubstantiated propaganda that is irrelevant to this movement." In what way does a terrorist attack have to do with the insidious and relentless peacetime culture of sexual violence, sexual assault and rape culture? The assertion is that MeToo (which is a loose association of survivors, not a monolithic organization) hasn't made a statement? How is this WP:Due? Obviously everyone should stand against sexual assault no matter the setting, but IMHO this marginally-related assertion (that MeToo hasn't issued an appropriate statement) is something somebody drummed up. I think this should be discussed before reinsertion. I object to its reinsertion unless much better supported. I rarely work in the field of Israel/Palestine relations, and I don't think this article has anything to do with long-standing hostilities in the Middle East. Insertion of such undue material seems intended to subtract focus from the very real sexual abuse and sexual exploitation in peacetime settings taking place this very day.

• I also don't see the relevance, but more importantly, the cited sources don't actually seem to support this. The cited sources almost entirely discuss only individual NGOs (mostly UN Women), with no coverage of "the #MeToo movement" as a whole. The only one that does is the Times of Israel piece, which while not unreliable, is most definitely a biased source on this topic. But even then, it doesn't actually *support* the content of the section. It says that a development associate with the #MeToo movement [ed. presumably defined as metoomvmt.org] said a statement would be forthcoming on October 7th, that the initial statement on November 13 makes no mention of Israel, Israeli women or Hamas, but that a clarification published two days later says that it stands by Israeli women, as well. So even then, misleading (sub)headlines aside, it actually says that the MeToo movement was *not* silent on Israel. All this, to me, adds up to an unsourced section that should not be in the article.

• I endorse the section removal. As is, this article has a lot of scope and WP:COATRACK issues and needs a significant culling. Moneytrees🏝️(Talk) 16:57, 9 December 2023 (UTC)

There is very real evidence and proof of sexual assault and rape during the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. There are first hand witnesses who attested seeing it happen, there are verified statements from medical and burial detail people who prepared bodies for burial, and of course hostage survivors who were returned from captivity in Gaza. To deny it happening is no less a horrific crime than denying the Holocaust, and criticism of the Me Too movement for not acknowledging it and remaining silent after these barbaric crimes by Hamas must be included in this Me Too Movement page! 207.140.247.98 (talk) 05:49, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

And that's not relevant to #MeToo movement? Drsruli (talk) 02:41, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

"Farrow called for a careful examination of each story to guard against false accusations but also recalled the alleged sexual abuse his sister Dylan Farrow claims she went through at the hands of his father Woody Allen."

Considering that he wrote an article explaining that his sister was wrong, this sentence sounds misleading to me. Drsruli (talk) 02:40, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

Proposed merge of Weinstein effect into MeToo movement

The closure of this discussion is currently being reviewed to assess whether or not it reflects the consensus of participants. It might be modified or overturned when the review concludes.

Comment on #MeToo movement vs Weinstein effect

For the closure reviewer, I'm not sure the arguments against closure are all weak and unsupported. From one of the sources and arguments above: The Weinstein Effect is the culture of silence that protects powerful men being rapidly eroded. ... In the past, these men may have been able to shoo away accusations through large settlements, or carefully worded public apologies — yet those deflections aren’t protecting people any longer. ... Were it not for the #MeToo viral campaign, which exposed how far-reaching the problem of assault is, there may not be a Weinstein Effect. That would make it an impact of #MeToo, which is a movement of survivors (regardless of their attackers individual, corporate, or political power):“It was a catchphrase to be used from survivor to survivor to let folks know that they were not alone and that a movement for radical healing was happening and possible.” 146.115.179.236 (talk) 16:35, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
