It's the latest viral hashtag, meant to illustrate how common sexual abuse and assault is. Usually it's accompanied by this text:

If all the women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote "Me too." as a status, we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.

A lot of my friends are participating. It's really common. Here are some numbers:
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs239/en/

Notably, around 35% of women globally have been victims of intimate partner and sexual violence. Kind of topical right now given the whole Harvey Weinstein and pretty much every account being that it's not just one perverted man, it's systemic in Hollywood. It's not just systemic in Hollywood. It's systemic everywhere.
In the face of these numbers I think it's really hard to not consider patriarchy a real, actual thing.

So, how many of your Facebook friends are doing this?

Maybe a couple, but anyone on my friends list who would post that kind of shit got unfollowed a while ago. So I'll never see it anyways.

*sigh* my wife did this thing.

In her defense, it DID actually happen to her, but yeah she posted that...

Why would you need to defend it?

Because it's a dumb meme and I bet a lot of actual victims didn't do it and a bunch of people who aren't did

I feel the need to defend it because I dislike all facebook chainletters regardless of their overarching meaning because usually the meaning gets lost in transition.

I wanna say I'm surprised people are so offended by this, but I'm not, really.

I've seen a small handful, but only a few go into any detail. The rest just post the hashtag and leave it at that.

Like I've said before, out of the female friends I have that go out drinking occasionally, I don't know any of them that haven't been at least groped. And it's not something that happens once or twice, it's common.

Last week my gf was groped, so she slapped the dude. He followed us out and tried to confront her, and only backed down because he saw she was with a guy. This shit is common AF.
