#MeToo and #Timesup

[Tara Zrymiak]

In my opinion, #MeToo and #Timesup have gone way too far, as it has become fashionable to have something to report, so people are looking for the least little thing in their past that could possibly be interpreted as harassment. It is unfair to those being accused, and more importantly, it de-emphasizes those that have actual valid complaints because they just become one of the crowd. Social shaming has no place in these types of legal matters, as there is no filter to validate claims, and once it is out there the damage to the accused party is permanent.

Thanks Tara, I think that research in this area shows that harassment is underreported as opposed to over-reported.
