Tread carefully with #MeToo in the medical profession

摘要

I read this editorial with several misgivings; the #MeToo movement has been a mixed blessing. On one hand, it has empowered women to come forward to report episodes of sexual misconduct. On the other hand, it has, in many peoples’ minds, produced a mob mentality that assumes that all assertions of misconduct are automatically true. The whole discussion around sexual harassment and misconduct has become overheated. I think everyone agrees that it is important that we get this right.
