Not sure what I think about that, honestly. From the basic point of the meme, going with "If all the people who have been..." seems to be the best action. I usually look at stuff like that and think "Well, that's a way to change it to be 'what about me?'...but it does seem like the 'people' one would be better to achieve the desired goal.

I read an article about that which specifically disputed this idea. That adding inclusivity to this particular ... campaign? Was not valuable. That this campaign is
specifically about women being harassed by men.
The intention is not to deny, or diminish the experiences of others, or to claim that one is more important than another, but more to maintain the focus of what's being discussed.
The analogy is that one does not run into a breast cancer fundraiser and yell "ALL Cancer matters."
I think I agree with this sentiment, the problem of men, trans people, and non binary people being harassed is serious and deserving of attention and conversation, but that's not
this conversation.
