Are you watching #metoo trending in social media settings? It is sobering to remember that the numbers of men and women who have suffered sexual assault, harassment, and abuse are astronomical. Such posts have the opportunity to help others recognize this hidden wound that many carry around their entire lives. I’m grateful when a victim is able to voice something that has held power over them for far too long. It can be part of the healing journey. And yet I also know that voicing our pain can lead to further pain. I’ve created this anonymous poll to find out how those who have considered posting #metoo (whether you posted or not does not matter) to see how the hashtag trend is impacting them. Results will only show how many numbers of votes per option.
Thankful for all who respond here.
I wish there were another response option along the lines of
“Posting #metoo has brought neither significant healing nor significant pain; but it has felt significant to participate in raising public awareness on the prevalence of this issue.”
Good point. I was trying to keep it small. I probably should have had an “other” category.
Yes, what joyclymer said. Exactly the choice I would have checked on the poll.
