To be honest I haven't followed this intensely, but would suggest that it feels pretty crappy if some people are given the idea that they should "wait their turn" or find "their own time to speak up". Especially given that this is a subject that is notoriously difficult for anyone to bring up when they have fallen victim to it.
Research conducted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that approximately 1 in 6 boys and 1 in 4 girls are sexually abused before the age of 18. (pulled from a US government site)
Women certainly have their issues and they deserve to be looked at and scrutinized. Just seems shameful to silence people with a very similar experience based on gender.
And again, I haven't been following this much in social media, just browsed through this thread.
