#MeToo

In today's society, sexual harassment has become a big issue. I'm sure most of you have heard of the "#metoo campaign". If you haven't, it's a campaign where men and women post "#metoo" on social media to show people that they have been sexually harassed, or support those who have been. 

What people don't see is that this has actually evolved into quite a big problem. It was started to show people that there are people who care and that they're not alone. But now, people post "#metoo" just because someone accidentally touched your arm when they were walking past you in the streets. 

I am not saying that this campaign is a bad thing. It's not. But when it has come to this, absolutely everyone thinking they have been sexually harassed, it's not really a good thing anymore. But what do I know? I can say that I have never been sexually harassed etc. Maybe some people think being accidentally touched by someone is harassment, how would I know?

What if we have to start asking people if it's ok to shake their hand when we meet or ask if it's ok to hug someone when they're crying, just because we don't know what is and isn't sexual harassment anymore. I personally think that it's disrespectful to misuse the hashtag if you don't know for sure that you have actually been harassed. But then again, how could I know how you define sexual harassment?

Maybe I'm wrong about this, but this is my opinion.
