MeToo vs. #MenToo: A Psychoanalytic Examination of Sexual Economics and Violence in a Hashtag Battle Between the Sexes
2025
Abstract In this conference paper, I explore a complex struggle between proponents of the #MeToo movement and rising proponents of the #MenToo movement, which gathered traction following Johnny Depp's public defamation trial of unfounded allegations of domestic violence by his ex-wife Amber Heard in 2022. In the case against Weinstein, Cynthia Burr, who had been forced into having oral sex with Weinstein in the 1970s commented on how Weinstein was now going to feel how she feit: \"Humiliation, worthlessness, fear, weakness, aloneness, loss, suffering and embarrassment\" (Kantor and Twohey, pp. 184-185). In his article, \"A Male Perspective on Sex and Power in the Age of #MeToo (2020), David Lotto endeavors to answer this question firom a male perspective: \"Men have a great deal of resentment and anger at being at a disadvantage in the arena of sexual power, specifically the reality that most of the time, in most situations, particularly around the initiation of the sexual relationship, it is the woman who has far more control than the man\" (p. 199) As a result of this perceived lack of sexual power, Lotto claims that if a man's sexual advances are rejected, he will seek revenge for inflicted narcissistic wounds.1 From a Freudian psychoanalytic perspective in which the narcissistic injury is suffered, one suggestion Lotto provides for why men commit sexual harassment is that there is a difference between women as mothers and women as sexually desirable: \"The female power role 1 An excerpt of this paragraph canbe found in my article, \"He Desires Me; He Loves Me Not\": \"MeToo and an Analysis of Freudian Sexual Economics.\" Clio's Psyche, vol. 26.2, Winter 2020, pp. 231-235. or attribute ... is not that of the nurturing caretaker whose power is that of the adult in comparison to the child, but of the one who holds the power of sexual desirability.

FROM REPORTING SEXUAL VIOLENCE TO #METOO: The New York Times and its contributions to combative journalism
2023
The main objective of this paper is to identify the combative elements in the professional practices of American journalists Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey, focusing on investigative reports on sexual violence against women published in the New York Times. For this case study, a qualitative analysis was carried out on the book She Said: Breaking the Sexual Harassment Story That Helped Ignite a Movement and on the 2018 Pulitzer Prize-winning reports authored by these same journalists. The results show that these journalists conducted a thorough investigation, legitimizing female speech by bringing to light the complaints of women victims of sexual harassment. The commitment these journalists have to confronting aggressors and uncovering facts that are concealed by powerful figures, such as Donald Trump, is also evident.O objetivo principal deste artigo é identificar os elementos combativos que caracterizam as práticas profissionais das jornalistas norte-americanas Jodi Kantor e Megan Twohey, centrando-se nos trabalhos investigativos sobre violência sexual contra mulheres publicados no New York Times. Para o estudo de caso, realizou-se uma análise qualitativa do livro Ela disse: os bastidores da reportagem que impulsionou o #MeToo e de reportagens de autoria de ambas as jornalistas, pelas quais receberam o Prêmio Pulitzer de 2018. Os resultados indicam que as jornalistas realizaram uma investigação exaustiva, caracterizada por legitimar falas femininas, ao visibilizar as denúncias de mulheres vítimas de assédio sexual. Também é evidente o comprometimento das jornalistas em confrontar os agressores e revelar os fatos silenciados por figuras poderosas, como Donald Trump.El objetivo principal de este artículo es identificar los elementos combativos que caracterizan las prácticas profesionales de las periodistas estadounidenses Jodi Kantor y Megan Twohey, enfocándose en los trabajos de investigación sobre violencia sexual contra mujeres publicados en New York Times.

Benefit Of the Doubt
2019
Editor's Note The best thing about checking out e-books and audiobooks from the Central Arkansas Library System is the deadline to get them read before they vanish from my Kindle tablet. Instead of reporting the allegations and denials, reporters Emily Steel and Michael S. Schmidt documented millions of dollars in financial settlements that Fox News and host Bill O'Reilly had paid to female accusers over the years. [...]NBC News ran hot and cold on the Weinstein story, allowing Farrow and a production team to spend months and resources on reporting and video production only to conclude that the reporting didn't meet its journalistic standards. [...]sometimes (as I've noted in the impeachment hearings) we don't want to accept that an admired person is lying, no matter how overwhelming the evidence.

Learning From What 'She Said'
2019
Editor's Note I've never forgiven Bill Clinton for his selfish and completely inappropriate indulgence with Monica Lewinsky, but for years I disbelieved Paula Jones' claim that he dropped his trousers for her minutes after she was escorted to his room in what was then called the Excelsior Hotel. (Bloom isn't quite the enabler Ghislaine Maxwell allegedly was for Jeffrey Epstein, but her reputation as a defender of victimized women is probably not going to survive.) Bob Weinstein, who had been his brother's business partner for decades, told Twohey and Kantor that he had - tragically - misunderstood his brother's predatory behavior for years, even as he was party to millions of dollars in secret settlements. (Twohey had been part of a team that, even before Trump was the Republican Party's official nominee, reported on multiple women who described the kind of behavior that Americans would later hear him brag about in the \"Access Hollywood\" video.) Kantor and Twohey spent months reporting their first story on Weinstein, which was published in October 2017, just ahead of similar reporting by Ronan Farrow that was published in The New Yorker because NBC (then Matt Lauer's employer) had declined to air it.

OTM presents: Here's the Thing with Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor
2020
Our colleagues at \"Here's the Thing\" produced a great episode this week that we think you'll enjoy: Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey are the New York Times reporters who broke the Harvey Weinstein story. For five months -- perpetually in danger of losing the scoop -- they cultivated and cajoled sources ranging from the Weinsteins’ accountant to Ashley Judd. The article that emerged on October 5th, 2017, was a level-headed and impeccably sourced exposé, whose effects continue to be felt around the world. Their conversation with Alec Baldwin covers their reporting process, and moves on to a joint wrestling with Alec’s own early knowledge of one of the Weinstein allegations, and his ongoing friendship with accused harasser James Toback. The guests ask Alec questions about the movie industry’s ethics about sex and “the casting couch.” Over a respectful and surprising half-hour, host and guests together talk through the many dilemmas posed by the #MeToo movement that Kantor and Twohey did so much to unleash.
