I only skimmed through it, but there's two issues I see.
One, this video is three months old and was recorded near the start of the campaign. Since then, dozens of those women / celebrities have come out with names and publicly talked about the specifics of what happened to them.
Two, the video misses the point of the campaign. It didn't just exist for people to speak up and face their attacker. It existed just as much for people to see the magnitude of the problem and realize that it affects women from all social classes and backgrounds. And that really doesn't require someone to provide the full name and details of an attacker.

If you don’t provide the full names and details then how will people figure out if the claim is true or not?

Edited by Flee: 1/10/2018 1:47:16 AMFor this purpose, why would it matter if every random person can figure out if it's true or not? Maybe the person has already come forward with it and went to the police. Maybe whoever did it is now dead. Maybe they don't want to stir things up again and continue moving on with what happened to them. Of course, if an actual suggestion or accusation was made, the court of public opinion can be a dangerous and harsh one without proof involved. But that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about someone on stage asking a crowd "who here has ever had X happen to them". In this case, it's perfectly fine for people to just raise their hand. It's not at all intended for everyone to give a detailed account of what, how and where.
