I'm not sure about this particular person in question, but it seems to me one never knows who will stick by the principle instead of "their side" until real-world challenges come along to "test" those principles. I'd wager even the persons being "tested" don't really know what they'd do under such circumstances.

My feeling is that it's rare to stick to the principles at hand compared to protecting your own (and I mean for any group/tribe not any specific one).

Thank you jules, this is really the bottom line of the whole article IMO.

We should support feminist agenda and movements like #MeToo. But to keep ourselves sober to whole movement, at the same time we should never forget there's a strong tribal element to actions of these people. And hopefully keep the effects of these in just in the right levels.
