To #MeToo or not to #MeToo ?
It's OK to flirt and make yourself look like a fool every time there is room for choice and mutual understanding. It is getting uncomfortable when sexual signals come from someone with power. It sucks completely when you are stuck in an abusive situation and can see no way out just like the wife of ex-deputy Prime Minister of Australian Barnaby Joyce. Natalie Joyce agreed to pose with two gay guys after her husband's lovechild-affair-with-staffer got out. She did it to keep her husband in power. God give her power!
But in fact, #MeToo campaign has gone bee-knee too viral and one step ahead of itself. #MeToo shifted the power imbalance between the sexes and men began to feel terrorized. Suddenly, any attempt to pick someone up, look into eyes for a second longer is considered an act of sexual assault. French woman were first ones to object to that in their famous #AntiMeToo campaign. God bless French Women!
Sexually charged or not, #MeToo campaign seems to be one of the many attempts to change the status quo and to shift power imbalances. This need to shift power translates all the way to geopolitics. Look how the powerful world reacts to Poland's #MeToo campaign to shed off blame for holocaust. Or for example, who gives a damn about Palestine's #MeToo campaign against powerful Israel?
"Their time is up" to quote Oprah Winfrey as I just listened to her #GoldenGlobe2018 speech while reading yet another article on #MeToo campaign. God give us all equal power!
PS
Does God even exist?
