Has the “Me Too” Movement Become Bad for Society?

According to Wikipedia: the “Me Too” movement (or #MeToo movement), with a large variety of local and international alternative names, is a movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault. The campaign – sparked by civil rights activist Tarana Burke – began back in 2006.

The concept of the organization is that many men had “gotten away with these actions for years”, and it seemed as though the perpetrators would never pay any consequences.

Lately though, the movement has met a crackling backlash. Many of its detractors claim it never was a “real movement”, and that it is nothing more than a face-saving act for Hollywood. A growing legion of men have complained that it’s not about seeing men brought to justice – but that it’s the ultimate power move – spurned by a group of women with an axe to grind.

For this particular show: we will be discussing for an entire two hours ALL aspects of this movement that has shook the foundation of music, politics, entertainment, etc. 

Are men simply “butt hurt” that they’re losing ground? Are women using the movement to "get back at men”?
What sorts of legislation should be passed to penalize men who commit sexual assault?
What sorts of legislation should be passed to penalize women who embellish or lie on men?

These questions AND MORE will be discussed in our upcoming Podcast.
