After Women, Men Share Their #MeToo Stories And Support For All. It’s At Least A Step!

Two words, #MeToo, have turned into a movement. The timelines are filled with these words that hold in them stories of a zillion assaults. We should add right here, that sexual assault is not limited to a specific gender. While women at large are victims of someone’s perversion, there are men and them too who have been a victim of sexual harassment and abuse.

It takes every fibre of one’s being to gather the courage to speak up about an assault, and people have by using merely two words made everyone realise the magnitude of the problem.

Some men are showing support for #MeToo, by saying that they would do better.

Some used #IHearYou.

Just the sheer no. of #MeToo stories have stunned me, makes me feel ashamed of my gender, the toxicity it consciously perpetuates. #IHearYou

It is.

Some pointed how women deserved a lot more.

With so many ladies confessing about #MeToo experiences, we men should hang our heads in shame. Ladies deserve a lot more respect than this.

Scarier for women, indeed!

The number of #MeToo posts on Facebook are overwhelming! How obviously rampant patriarchy & male privilege is, scary to say the least

It truly does.

The #metoo hashtag evoking the same punched-in-the-gut sensation I had when first realising the ubiquity of sexual harassment. #Ihearyou

To all the women out there, Keep strength. You are the rebellion we need. I support you, with love and courage. #Ihearyou #MeToo pic.twitter.com/JmTEmDzDoL

There are people who have been apologising to all the women.

My mom always taught me to be respectful towards girls/women. To all women who've been harassed/abused, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. #IHearYou

This is the world we live in.

Getting used to is the worst.

Knowing a woman (Friends, Family) closely almost invariably opens up accounts of pain. Even the horrors of "Getting used to".
And also, how we expect them to bear with "minor" incidents.#ihearyou

It is horrifying for us.

#IHearYou when you say #MeToo and I am quite ashamed of the extent to which my gender has made life horrid for women!

Some are sharing their stories of abuse. We shouldn’t forget the fact that they too, sadly, fall victim to it.

1. Without sharing the details he took a stand.

2. We do realise that and do want to bring that issue to light, too.

It is not an issue that only impacts women. More men than you know are also impacted. Sadly, no one wants to talk about it. #MeToo #MenToo

3. Our hearts go out to you.

5. Yes, it does.

Sexual assault can happen to men and women by men and women. #MeToo includes #MenToo.

— Jack Off Jill (@JOJ_official) October 16, 2017

6. We hope that too.

#MeToo is not exclusive to women but *all* victims of sexual assault.I hope male victims will feel more comfortable reporting it now #MenToo

7. Please don’t.

one needs to point out that all genders get abused, but kripiya, dont be an asshole, dont make this about feminism or anti-feminism #MeToo

— harish 🏳️‍🌈 (@hiyer) October 16, 2017

And, some pledged this.

The problem is everyone’s problems and we appreciate men who have come out and shared their stories or shown support to all. This is an earnest Thank You to you all.

Let’s make it a point guys, that we make for a better society where there comes a time where no soul has to say, #MeToo.
