Maybe conservative women believe in patriarchy, and therefore that men shouldn't be held accountable because they are the bosses. Or the really fundamental ones believe God made men to rule over women so they simply accept it.
What is certain is that conservative women are harassed/assaulted/raped just as often as liberal women. The men who do these things don't care about their political leanings. It's all about power.
Fine. Now can you explain why most of the perpetrators are liberal?
What a farce this "MeToo" movement has become.
The mask was pulled off it quickly, as it devastated the Democrat political machine.
Now you have paid demonstrators, in the halls of congress over clear false allegations from decades ago, yet they turn a blind eye when questioned about Cory Booker and Keith Ellison, with actual proof.
MeToo is astroturf, meant to go after Republicans. It has netted Democrats.

To the last sentence, you're right. To the first, bull****.
It's more about perception, seriousness, and who wants to be a victim. My sister posted during the height of the #metoo. I know exactly what happened to her. At a high school dance, a boy stuck his tongue in her mouth, uninvited. She couldn't wait to jump on the bandwagon, and I think it had more to do with her always following the crowd, and being upset over her recent, ugly, divorce from her husband of 21 years, than with what actually happened.
She was disgusted by it. I get that. But I see it as more of a normal thing. If this had been a boy she was attracted to, would she have felt the same way? Do we really want boys to stop making any advances toward us? (Well, I'm too old for that now, but if my husband hadn't gone in for the kiss, we might not have ended up married.)
My oldest daughter was groped in the hallway at her middle school. Had her crotch grabbed. She went immediately to the school director, and the boy was suspended for a week. She never posted #metoo because she said she felt like, while it had a sexual component, it was more akin to some of the fights that occasionally broke out among two different populaces at the school.
#metoo has been good in a lot of respects, but it's a big mistake to lump everything even remotely sexual with serious, life-altering attacks.
It's understandable why people, male or female, don't always come forward immediately.
But what these people and those who support them need to understand is that if you do wait years or decades to bring your allegations public, it not only cast a shadow of doubt (even though it may be undeserved) but it also makes it very difficult to prove.
This is exactly why we have statute of limitations laws.
And if you wait years to come forward, and you've shown yourself to be rabidly partisan, we can assume that your coming forward is completely politically motivated.
Politically motivated or not, it still happened. Doesn't excuse anything. If you **** with me and I decide to hold it in my back pocket until it really affects you, so what? You still did it.

No, we don't know that it happened. Not even her life-long friend says it happened. That's the whole issue with Kavanaugh (not metoo, in general). NO ONE says it happened but her. That doesn't mean it didn't, but it sure doesn't mean it did, either.

What started out being legitimate, has been taken over by the Democrat political partisans, as a weapon they can wield to destroy the reputation and character of their Republican opponents.
#metoo, is only kept alive after it clearly failed, to now go after Republicans.
It is not a group of people who stands against sexual abuse of women, men and kids, but only against who is favored and otherwise you can be left on your own!
The same counts for feminism as that is also a pick and choose phenomenon.
PETA is another pick and choose, what you like and what you are against...
None of the groups you mention started out that way. They were (allowed to be?) hijacked by radicals and weaponized for political/social reasons.
THAT is what's sad...
