Alyssa Milano started a Me Too tweeting storm when she asked people to write 'Me Too' as a reply to her tweet.
The 'Me Toos' haven't stopped since!
Why?
Because most, if not all, women have been at least sexually harassed during their lifetimes - I can't even pretend it's just women, it's girls as young as far as you can imagine. Men are harassed too! Don't forget that!
Men are harassed and, maybe not as much as women, but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, emotionally and physically, as much as it hurts anyone else!
Some people you might know that joined the 'me too' movement (and admitted to being harassed) are:
Anna Paquin
Debra Messing
Lea Thompson
Kristin Bauer
Anika Noni Rose
Sophia Bush
...and many more people (not just celebrities) have come out and supported the #MeToo .
Sexual harassment and assault isn't a joke.
Raising sexual harassment and assault awareness is important. It tells the aggressors people won't just stand there and take it, be bought and sold like willing slaves, they won't just pretend it didn't happen and the shame the aggressors feel within themselves can't be transferred to their victims.
