The Movement of #MeToo: How a Hashtag got its Power

The Movement of #MeToo: How a Hashtag got its Power

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
About 10 years ago, after I'd graduated college but when I was still waitressing full-time, I attended an empowerment seminar. It was the kind of nebulous weekend-long event sold as helping people discover their dreams and unburden themselves from past trauma through honesty exercises and the encouragement to "be present." But there was one moment I've never forgotten. The group leader, a man in his 40s, asked anyone in the room of 200 or so people who'd been sexually or physically abused to raise their hands. Six or seven hands tentatively went up. The leader instructed us to close our eyes, and asked the question again. Then he told us to open our eyes. Almost every hand in the room was raised.

For a long time, most women defined their own sexual harassment and assault in this way: as something unspoken, something private, something to be ashamed of acknowledging. Silence, although understandable, has its cost. A decade ago, I couldn't have conceived of the fact that so many women had experienced sexual coercion or intimidation; now, I'd be surprised if I could find a single one who hadn't. On Sunday afternoon, the actress Alyssa Milano used her Twitter account to encourage women who'd been sexually harassed or assaulted to tweet the words #MeToo. In the last 24 hours, a spokesperson from Twitter confirmed, the hashtag had been tweeted nearly half a million times.

#MeToo wasn't just mushrooming on Twitter-when I checked Facebook Monday morning, my feed was filled with friends and acquaintances acknowledging publicly that they, too, had experienced harassment or assault. Some shared their stories, some simply posted the hashtag to add their voices to the fray. And it wasn't just women: Men also spoke up about their experiences with assault. Actors including Anna Paquin, Debra Messing, Rosario Dawson, Gabrielle Union, and Evan Rachel Wood joined in. The writer Alexis Benveniste used it to remind people that the messages they were seeing were only the tip of the iceberg. For every woman stating her own experiences out loud, there were likely just as many choosing not to do so.

Reminder that if a woman didn't post #MeToo, it doesn't mean she wasn't sexually assaulted or harassed. Survivors don't owe you their story.

For all the frequent grumbles about the passivity of most forms of Twitter activism, this was a moment in which the form fit perfectly with the message: The goal of #MeToo, as Milano's friend told her, was simply to give people a sense of "the magnitude of the problem." Waking up to a feed dominated by women discussing their experiences of harassment and assault, it turns out, will do that. For more than a week, social media has been filled with stories told by women about their interactions with the producer Harvey Weinstein, accusations that range from verbal coercion to rape. But as horrifying as the allegations against Weinstein have been, more appalling still is the sense that his behavior isn't uncommon. That in industries across the world, from media to music to modeling to academia, women have encountered their own Weinsteins and have deduced, for whatever reason, that nothing could be done about it and nobody cared.

The power of #MeToo, though, is that it takes something that women had long kept quiet about and transforms it into a movement. Unlike many kinds of social-media activism, it isn't a call to action or the beginning of a campaign, culminating in a series of protests and speeches and events. It's simply an attempt to get people to understand the prevalence of sexual harassment and assault in society. To get women, and men, to raise their hands. Recent revelations about the alleged abuses of Weinstein and Bill Cosby and Jimmy Savile and R. Kelly have proven that truth has power. There's a monumental amount of work to be done in confronting a climate of serial sexual predation-one in which women are belittled and undermined and abused and sometimes pushed out of their industries altogether. But uncovering the colossal scale of the problem is revolutionary in its own right.

Forgetting a hashtag is even easier than retweeting a hashtag, and retweeting a hashtag is the least a person can do for a cause while still technically not doing nothing. So forgive my reluctant cynicism in initially worrying that the #MeToo movement, the social media push where women shared stories of sexual harassment, might be doomed to a similar fate of hundreds of forgotten social media pushes.

It's not that the cause wasn't worthy. Of course women deserve to live in a world where they feel encouraged to speak up against being mistreated on the basis of sex, and of course they deserve to be heard and believed. But the attention of the public zips from one cause célèbre to another so quickly-seeking snackable one-off victory in a world seemingly bereft of it-that it's a bit of a pleasant surprise when more of a long-haul struggle sticks.

And right now, it feels like the #MeToo moment is sticking, like women are ready for the slog between where we are now and where we need to be. There's no way to characterize what's happening without invoking cliches like "sea change" and "watershed moment" and "the tide has turned." This is more than a hashtag; it's a cultural shift.

When the Harvey Weinstein news broke, the cynic in me worried that the industry would pummel Weinstein and then pat itself on the back for purging a problem that was still endemic. Remember the year the Oscars awarded Best Actor and Best Actress to Denzel Washington and Halle Berry and then pretended it had solved racism and then went back to doing the same thing it had done before? That.

But whatever bravery compelled the first women-Ashley Judd, Rose McGowan, and others-to go on the record accusing Weinstein has only strengthened and spread. The other week, women spoke out against director James Toback, and it didn't take long for a handful of accusations against him to turn into dozens, and then hundreds. Executive Roy Price was out of Amazon Studios before most non-entertainment folk had a chance to memorize his name. On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times ran a story alleging director Brett Ratner had his own history of abusing women in the entertainment industry, including actress Olivia Munn. Andy Dick was ousted from a movie for alleged harassment. Dustin Hoffman has apologized after a female writer accused the actor of harassing her years back.

It doesn't matter how long ago these things happened. This moment is no longer a hashtag; it's the lancing of an infected wound. What's happening isn't slowing down; if anything, it's accelerating.

It's spread beyond just Hollywood. Men accused of sexual impropriety in a wide array of public-facing industries have found themselves suddenly too toxic to employ. NPR's senior vice president of news Michael Oreskes is out of a job as of Wednesday, thanks to sexual harassment allegations both old and new. The New Republic's publisher and one of its longtime editors have both been ousted. Longtime political commentator Mark Halperin has found all of the institutions that once associated with him-his publisher, MSNBC, Showtime, NBC, et. al.-have distanced themselves publicly. Alice Glass, vocalist in the indie noise-dance darling Crystal Castles, has alleged that her male former bandmate sexually abused her. Marilyn Manson kicked his longtime bassist known as his stage name Twiggy Ramirez out of the band after Ramirez was accused of rape.

It's spread to state houses. In California, in Illinois, in Kentucky, female state legislators have called for an end to what sounds like a below-the-radar frat house culture that prevailed in their workplaces. On Wednesday, allegations against him prompted Democratic Illinois state Sen. Ira Silverstein to step down from his post.

Every day there's something, and it's not just words, or shares, or likes. The #MeToo moment has, in about a month, upended the landscape of a handful of visible and high-powered workplaces.

It almost seems quaint how astounded we all were when Roger Ailes and Bill O'Reilly were booted from Fox News half a year ago.

Crowdsourced outrage can be toxic when employed in the service of frivolity. But the #MeToo moment is anything but frivolous. Its effectiveness proves that against a more formidable foe-institutionalized sexism and exploitation-it's necessary for the disenfranchised to pool their strength if they want to get anything done.

The ultimate legacy of #MeToo depends on what happens next. Will it extend beyond public-facing industries populated largely by the privileged? Or will it expand to the hidden corners of American life, where women need it the most? If you'd asked me a month ago, I'd be hesitant to feel optimistic it could go beyond Hollywood. Thank goodness I was wrong.
