1. I missed this coverage of the #JunotDíaz case. Nuanced reporting from @MarkAShanahan & @StephanieEbbert who interviewed Díaz, his accusers, and his supporters following @MIT & @BostonReview clearing him in separate investigations. @PulitzerPrizes investigation still ongoing.

@MarkAShanahan @StephanieEbbert @MIT @BostonReview @PulitzerPrizes 2. I want to highlight some quotes from women who appear to be supporting the idea that the #MeToo movement has gone too far and that Díaz case’s represents a turning point in trying to regain perspective.

@MarkAShanahan @StephanieEbbert 3. Note that none of Díaz’s accusers have retracted their claims. This quote is illuminating.

@MarkAShanahan @StephanieEbbert 4. The piece encapsulates the fights women are having about #MeToo. Some women seem interested in rebalancing of power through bringing down powerful men—abusers & jerks alike— where others feel we need to approach these allegations carefully and allow room for change over time.

@MarkAShanahan @StephanieEbbert 5. @Northeastern prof @sjjphd, who studies hashtag activism, on what stories should be allowed within #MeToo and how abusers have “gotten away with lesser bad behaviors and they escalate.”

@MarkAShanahan @StephanieEbbert 6. @Wellesley women’s studies prof @elenacreef on the vocal minority in #MeToo who are happy to see men like Díaz tried & convicted in the court of public opinion versus women who support due process.

@MarkAShanahan @StephanieEbbert 7. @Stanford English prof Paula Moya on needing to be able to make distinctions between Harvey Weinstein/Bill Cosby and jerks.
