Well, on the off chance that you're willing to learn:
#metoo is largely about acknowledging the fact that sexual harassment or misconduct in all its forms is an omnipresent problem for women (and men, to a lesser extent).
#believeallwomen is, depending on the user, either a strawman version of #believewomen (because false accusations aren't really as common as people often claim they are, though not as rare as many feminists claim they are), or an earnestly-believed and particularly unreasonable version of same (because, frankly, for all their virtues, women are still human with all the dysfunctional shit that entails). Looking it up, I'm seeing it used more commonly in the former sense.
And just so we're clear, when you say "Cops down here are so eager to prosecute anything and everything with fuck all evidence, especially for women." Are you sure you're talking about the police and legal system or are you talking about the media and social media? Because I do think trials by social media and media are a legitimate problem and far more likely to net a false positive than a proper legal trial.
