A year after #MeToo first began to change the power dynamics in entertainment, media and politics, a new analysis by The New York Times shows nearly half of the high-profile men who were toppled by movement have been replaced by women.
According to the report, at least 200 men have been either fired or demoted following accusations of sexual misconduct. Of them, about 122 were replaced and 53 of those replacements were women, or 43 percent.
One-third of these women work in news media, one-fourth in government, and one-fifth in the arts.
Robin Wright, the analysis noted, replaced actor Kevin Spacey as lead actor on “House of Cards,” after he was accused of sexually assaulting multiple people, including actor Anthony Rapp.
