FILE - In this Nov. 1, 2017 file photo, participants march against sexual assault and harassment during the #MeToo March in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles. At center is Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement. According to a 2021 The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll, just over half of Americans - 54% - say they personally are more likely to speak out if they're a victim of sexual misconduct.
Hill’s history obviously predates the #MeToo movement, the broad social reckoning against sexual misconduct that reaches its four-year mark this week. But Bennett’s moment is very much a part of it, and she believes #MeToo is largely responsible for a fundamental change in the landscape since 1991,“I’d like to think that now, we are believed,” Bennett said in an interview.
Sixty-two percent of women said they are more likely to speak out if they are a victim of sexual misconduct as a result of recent attention to the issue, compared to 44% of men. Women also are more likely than men to say they would speak out if they are a witness, 63% vs 53%.Sonia Montoya, 65, of Albuquerque, used to take the sexist chatter in stride at the truck repair shop where she’s worked as the office manager — the only woman — for 17 years.
Still, there are signs the impact has been unequal, with fewer Americans seeing positive change for women of color than for women in general. That dovetails with frequent criticism that the #MeToo movement has been less inclusive of women of color.in an interview last month.
Thank Geoffreypreud you for mentoring me and showing me the right and wrong, to support me in every manner possible, always made sure we get the best ROI.
As well they should. How else to stop the creep from doing it again? This is what pisses me off about people waiting decades, and then coming forward only if the perp has become famous. How many more victims were preyed upon?
In TN rape is OK. Abortions aren’t. Incest is OK-abortions aren’t. In TN women are chattel. MeToo still struggles for recognition. ReproductiveRights
Yeah… “me too” died when the narritive had to change when it came out creepy Joe cornered and fingered his intern. RIP me too….collateral damage to radical left activism…. They had to choose pervy Joe or ME TOO….
Excellent writing, more women in the media for balanced reporting
This is the 3rd time AP tweeted this in less than 3 hours. My response is the same. Charlotte Bennett has ruined the credibility of true victims by falsely accusing men. Stop quoting her.
'Me Too' is not only just a feminist re-packaging of stultifying old Puritan morality; It's an instrument of oppression, not always for abuse; Often for lack of wealth, or any political motive with juice. Let us rather embrace Pagan liberation.
I gues’ll we’ll see this movement down in Loudon County and the front of the charge against support it the two girls who were aledgidly raped by a transgender in school…. Or is that counter narrative?
Hopefully...
