Keeping The Me Too Movement Going

Keeping The Me Too Movement Going

 

I recently watched a documentary about the Me Too Movement. It seemed that Alissa Milano posted a tweet that started this movement that said: 

“If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote me too as a status we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem”

The Me Too hashtag was used 500,000 times in the first 24 hours on Twitter and 4,700,000 times on Facebook in the first 24 hours alone. Then it went global.

So why did this happen? Well, all of a sudden it felt like you weren't alone. That you knew there were others out there that knew what you were going through. For many of us who were sexually harassed or assaulted, we couldn't believe how many others there were out there. How many others “got it”

When for so long we felt so alone and isolated.

Even Oprah spoke up about it saying “For too long women have not been heard or believed if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men but their time is up. It's here with every woman who chooses to say me too and every man who will listen”

This was big, this took on a life of its own, as it should. Because for so long it was swept under the rug, it was known to all but nothing was ever done or said about it. Now it was front and center and with numbers, came the courage to step forward.

We all know that the casting couch has been around for a long time. It was not just Harvey Weinstein, Dustin Hoffman, Cassy Affleck, James Franco, Louie CK, and Kevin Spacey that sexually harassed or assaulted thousands of women and yes, even men.

Were we really shocked when 90 women came forward to accuse Harvey Weinstein and 30 men came forward to accuse Kevin Spacey? No, this moment shook all the rats out. It exposed them for who they truly were. But unfortunately, things don't just change, as long as there is power there will be abuse.

So today my friends, especially today, with our rights being taken away by this administration, it is up to us to keep this moment moving. We have the power to change things as long as we keep the fire on. As long as we keep exposing men, and as long as we keep talking about it. We can make the change we want to see.
