The movement definitely created a chilling effect. A lot of guys now are simply afraid to talk to women in public. Everyone walks around in their own bubble. It’s incredibly lonely and isolating.
As for whether we should judge anything based on intent or on outcome, that’s a complicated question in itself. I’m afraid too many like to judge their friends/allies on intent but their opponents/enemies on outcome, always taking the least charitable interpretation. That’s altogether human, of course.
“For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law.”
I still question if that chilling effect was actually the movement or the fascist/conservative spin put on it to radicalize young men. It’s practically identical to the anti-feminist propaganda that conservative political groups have been using for decades.
