Their website & twitter acct patted themselves on the back & were lauded, thanked & their names became well known in tbe promotion as well as speaker organizing.

They didn't create the Women's Movement but the March of 2017, in typical opportunistic fashion gave themselves credit.
Then came the truth of who's beliefs they actually applauded. Farrakhan.

I for one am glad they were revealed for who they are.

Women's Movement as well as #METOO will survive long past the self serving Farrakhan groupies.

THIS is my point.
#METOO will be fine with the joing force of the Women's Movement once the self serving mockery of opportunists stay out of it.
