Is the #metoo movement widening the divide between men and women?

While the #metoo movement has noble intentions of exposing abusers and giving them their comeuppance, the swift court-of-public-opinion “justice” that it has doled out seems to almost be leading to a widening of the gap of understanding between men and women. Stories I’ve heard from men and women in the workplace have given the image of them being afraid of each other: women worrying that any man is a potential abuser and men worrying that an innocent comment will ruin their life. I’ve even heard that male and female co-workers are just avoiding even speaking to each other as a precaution. Obviously this is the not the outcome that proponents of the #metoo movement hoped for, but in some cases it seems to be the result. Part of the issue is that this movement is still young; we haven’t yet been able to evaluate the full range of repercussions it will have on society.

Has this been the experience for you? If not, how has it worked for the better in your case?

(Yes, this question is mostly anecdotal. I’m specifically asking for anecdotes).
