Over the past 24 hours, a social media campaign highlighting and empowering victims of sexual assault and abuse has taken over Twitter.
Actress Alyssa Milano was one of the first to share the call for a "me too" hashtag, writing, "If you’ve been sexually harassed or assaulted write ‘me too’ as a reply to this tweet."
She shared a note from a friend, which read, "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."
Other women who have used #metoo on social media include Lady Gaga and actress Anna Paquin. Overnight, the trend on Twitter had reached more than 300,000 mentions.

It’s starting to get old now.
Everyone who petted in high school wants to virtue signal on Facebook with #MeToo.
I’m like, “#WhoDidn’t?

My wife actually posted “#MeToo but #WhoDidn’t”. Great minds.

Boys and men have been assaulted too, though it is unacceptable to say so.

#MeToo and I’m a guy. It started with a prostitute when I was 19. Don’t kiss guys at work if they are backing away. Yech!

It seems to me this “Me too” meme is an attempt to switch a narrative that’s bad for the left (”The Harvey Weinstein scandal reveals the corruption and hypocrisy of Hollywood.”) into one that’s good for the left (”Men are pigs, therefore vote Democrat.”).

There’s a huge difference between an affair and an assault. An “affair” (especially a long-term one) implies consent on both parties. If there was coercion involved — then it’s an assault, not an affair.

Time changes all it pertains to, that for sure.
(Stole that line from Merle Haggard.)

Oxford and Merle, ay?
