  • Men respond to the #MeToo movement with #HowIWillChange

    After the #MeToo movement sought to reveal the ubiquity of sexual assault, there has been a variety of reactions in response.

    #MeToo has been criticized by advocates, saying that although it's good that people are sharing their stories through the movement and bring attention to how widespread the problem is, it doesn’t provide a solution.

    The movement was shifted after someone asked the question, “How many women will it take to say #MeToo before men talk about #HimThough?”

    In response, a new movement is trending that challenges people to say #HowIWillChange.

    “Guys, it’s our turn,” reads a post from the creator of the movement, Benjamin Law.

    “After yesterday’s endless #MeToo stories of women being abused, assaulted and harassed, today we say #HowIWillChange.”

    Law then tweeted several ways that he plans on being an ally, not a perpetrator, including donating to women’s shelter, calling out sexism, and recognizing that if every women he knows has been sexually harassed, abused, or assaulted, then he either knows perpetrators, or is one.

    The #MeToo hashtag was originally created by Alyssa Milano in response the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal, where she asked followers to write “Me too” as their status to give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem.
