I know # is “hashtag” nowadays, but I read somewhere recently, and now can’t get it out of my head, every time I see this...
# used to be called “pound” back in the day...
#metoo?
Well, for starters, “pound me too” was probably a poor name choice.
Doesn’t the hashtag (#) mean pound? Pound me too?
In older parlance the ‘tag’ #metoo would be pronounced “Pound me too”.

I’d pick #bringbackourgirls. But there’s lot’s of competition.
#metoo probably has a therapeutic benefit to many women. Though also probably encourages some men in that even when victims scream (tweet) to the world about their actions, and have a “safe space” to talk about the attack, the women still won’t name the attackers.
Reminds me of when I was still working in pharmaceutical research. Every lab door and every storage cabinet had at least one, and usually several “hazardous” stickers: chemical and/or biological and/or radioactive. When everything is labeled, eventually you stop noticing! Like crying wolf too often.
It’s just an added level of participation trophy syndrome for the victim glorification society.
#MeToo is the liberals’ attempt to shift attention from Hollywood Democrat predators, to the “ALL MEN are predators” fake narrative.
It’s a filler “crisis.” Something to hype until something bigger comes along. They took a week off from trashing Trump, to trash all men in general.
Look, sexual abuse is a serious issue, and destroys lives. That said, telling a dirty joke or “locker room talk” is NOT sexual abuse. By trying to redefine the word they demean its significance, just like they’ve done with “racist”.
The “Yeah, I slept my way to fame and fortune” campaign.
Why not?
