Is #MeToo only used for sexual harassment?

What constitutes a #MeToo ? Does gender discrimination at work count?

Yes. Whatever u want

Lol, i dont want people to misuse a term if it meant to address really important things, we all agree there is a institutional problem and bias towards women for generations, why not just try to understand them. We dont blame the men of current generation for all of it, it would mean a great deal if men just took the time to understand and look back as a society.

At this point it is whatever to some. Koolaid has a reference to the mass suicide but people use it alll the damn time.

It started with the sexual assault victims but spread to everything people typically kept quiet about.

Is that a good thing?

You have a solid point op. The more trivial things the hashtag is used for, the easier it will be for people to dismiss it

I agree, we need common understanding of the severity of the issues at hand. Dont you think its weird tho, if a female from a relatively progressive world asking for more rights are often reminded of the people that are suffering in the other countries. Its almost like, Oh i am sorry, i didnt know i had to compare my life with someone worse to feel better🤦‍♀️

The origin was asking anyone who had been sexually assaulted or harassed to post “me too” to give a sense of the magnitude of the problem
