I don't know if this is a problem with the #MeToo movement or just Ronan Farrow, but he's done this twice so far that I know of----he's made accusations against Woody Allen and Brett Kavanaugh based on flimsy evidence and defended the attacks by saying that there's just as much evidence against them as in some of the #MeToo cases.
This is now his standard of evidence, at least against people he doesn't like. Ronan wouldn't use that reasoning on Mia Farrow. There's clear evidence that she's a child abuser and that she only targets the Asian kids. During the custody hearing, Farrow admitted in court that she assaulted Soon-Yi and there was testimony that she slapped Moses in the face because he couldn't find a dog leash.
There is some standard of proof in the #MeToo movement. We're still talking about Louis CK and Harvey Weinstein, but not about George Takei, Max Landis or Michael Douglas. In some cases, nothing more came of the allegations.
I would be happy to believe anything said against Kravanaugh. In the one accusation against him that Ronan has written about, if people of my ilk think Ronan Farrow's evidence is flimsy, think of how Republicans must feel. They're the ones who are going to vote that guy onto the Supreme Court. Ronan has jumped on the anti-Kravanaugh bandwagon but he may be sending it into a ditch.
