CelebsTwitter: #MeToo doing rounds on social media.
The ongoing #MeToo campaign which is raging on social media has garnered a lot of support from women across the world. From commoners to other respected names across the world, everybody is expressing their concerns over rising gender imbalance which is prevalent in various pockets of the world.
The hashtag is supposed to be shared and made viral to ensure that it reaches all men ranging across the various streams of life. Girls from various locations are using this hashtag to vent out their frustration on the severity of the issue which doesn’t seem to get better but worse by the day.
Many girls took to Twitter to share their views about this hashtag and also how they’d like it to be. Famous Hollywood award winner Marlee Matin posted an action-invoking tweet which may have reached a million men and made a difference.

Another recognised columnist and speaker Meghna Pant tweeted, “In Saudi they behead men who rape. In China they castrate them. In North Korea it’s the firing squad. In India all we can do is say #MeToo.”
Last time I was harassed I told a friend. She said, “Was he drunk? Probably didn’t know what he was doing.” He knew. No more excuses. #MeToo

Can we start an #IDidIt hashtag, where men admit to the deeds they've done and what they're doing to change the narrative?#metoo

Another Martha Armstrong women named recalled the incident when she was raped and had gone to the police station to file a complaint. She remembered the first thing that police asked her. It was “What were you wearing?”
It is highly disgraceful for us as a society to blame it on women’s clothes and appearances for the atrocities shoved on her. The deciding factors of whether a rape will happen or not shouldn’t depend on the girl’s outward appearances but men’s inward cringe-worthy monster who is at best-nothing but inhumane. #MeToo
