The #MeToo movement never created #BelieveAllWomen slogan. It was an intentional casting of the slogan #BelieveWomen by anti-feminists to create a strawman argument. As Lindzmarie mentioned, the #BelieveWomen slogan meant that we should not dismiss women's accusations of DV and SA simply because the truth might make us uncomfortable. Of course, that's the problem with slogans, they rarely accurately express their intended meaning. The #MeToo movment never meant that we should simply believe everything any women ever says.

TLDR: Except for the notion of #MeToo creating the #BelieveAllWomen, I completely agree with you perspective in this article.
