ARTICLE REVIEW
 ARTICLE ON ME TOO MOVEMENT

Every third women in world faces sexual harassment of

some kind in her life. The number of cases actually
brought to court is rather low, amongst other things
because most victims are too scared and ashamed to tell
the truth. Sexual harassment is not a misdemeanour, but a
criminal offence and should be treated as such. The fact
that a many predators get away with their vicious crimes is
a disgrace. How did the me-too movement gain such
popularity topic in western media and might it be the case
that it turns out to be total witch hunt ? I think the me-too
movement has turned into a mob.
Some say the me-too movement represents a voice for
helpless victims of rape and that it has shown its validity
due to the scandalous events that were brought to daylight
ever since Harvey Weinstein was first publicly accused
of sexual harassment. But I say it has become a total mob
and is politically exploited. Without a doubt the number of
women being sexually harassed is a lot higher than one
would probably expect and that is a shame. As I mentioned
earlier every third women in the world faces sexual
harassment of some kind in her life. But as a matter of fact
we do not know for sure what actually happened between
the persons accused within the me-too movement and
those accusing them. The whole supply of information is
gathered from western mass-media which has a really one-
sided view of the topic.

Criticizing the me-too movement has nothing to do with

the fact that every sexual assault should be condemned
and punished. But the fact that suspected actors are cut
out of movies and TV series in order not to lose audiences
makes me question whether we live in the new Middle
Ages. As Michael Haneke says, “this hysterical form of
prejudgement should be left behind because otherwise the
movement will always be coloured by a hatred of men in
general.”
