Has anyone done any research on what appears to be a decline in #MeToo? It changed norms, increased reports, increased arrests, & transformed laws.
So why was the online movement not sustained? Have existing orgs just absorbed the enthusiasm but not the slogan?

@natematias I think it's expected that hashtag movements will be fleeting but highly visible, whereas institutions will be more robust and less glossy. Awareness campaigns could be conceptualised as the tip of an iceberg, with material support, mutual aid networks, legal interventions, etc. often less visible by nature and necessity.
