#MeTOO Movement – The Aftermaths

#MeTOO movement

The #MeTOO movement has opened a lot of cans of worms. It perfectly paints the picture of “What happens if the meeks get enraged?” Gone are the days when women/men are patient and long-suffered in silence. It is the time to start punishing the predators and be pertinent to them. The assertion is made clear on supposed “powerful-predators” like M J Akbar and Sajid Khan. The movement not only focussed on the Elite and urban parties but also the common beings with vicious intentions like the predators at hospitals prying on the patients, at the buses, at every public space, and even inside the people’s family and friend zone.

The Events that followed the #MeTOO movement

The Sisterhood not involving just women but also men who had subjected to the abuses and molestations has created a wave which will not stop until it bashes each and every sexual predator to the ground. As a small victory, two of the main alleged M J Akbar has resigned his post from the Office of Minister of State of External Affairs and Sajid Khan has stepped down as the director in his next venture Houseful 4. Even though these are very minuscule victories, they do represent the power of an uprising.

While M J Akbar has slammed a defamation suit against Priya Ramani, she is ready to face the legalities. However, there can be questions on the reality of any allegation. But it is evident that not every accusation by 30 different women can be false.

On the rise of the #MeTOO Movement, as a parent, brother, sister, and friend it is our responsibility to create awareness about the predators in your surround to all. Teach the children about the difference between the good and evil, and do not limit it to the strangers but also to the family and friends circle. The most common predators are not strangers but are those who we inspire, respect and love. It is the time to make #MeTOO movement a #MeToo Saga.
