I’ve spent a lot of time over the last year thinking about the prospect of a backlash, reading about the prospect of a backlash, analyzing the backlash, forecasting the backlash, rebuking the backlash. But what suddenly dawned on me last night, as the accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and the New York Magazine cover story on Soon-Yi Previn took center stage, is that the same tired narratives questioning accusers keep surfacing, the same equivocations keep circulating, the same people keep calling bullshit, and we’re all exhausted — but that the backlash, as painful as it is to counter and endure, is a symptom that change is happening. #MeToo is working.
