“…In particular, the #MeToo movement may have increased awareness that sexual assault and harassment are common experiences. In this public form of feminist consciousness-raising (Larabee, 2018; Mendes et al, 2018), men and women may recognize similarities between personal and publicized stories, while viewing individual experiences within a broader structural context. In this way, the #MeToo movement has clear potential to affect survivors’ understanding of sexual assault.…”

encouraged anyone who had been sexually harassed or assaulted to respond on Twitter with the phrase, #MeToo. Millions responded and a cultural reckoning ensued. Anecdotally, the #MeToo movement appears to have affected survivors' acceptance and acknowledgment of their own sexual assault experiences, but empirical evidence is lacking. To address this gap, the aim of this study was to examine associations between behavioral and labeled reports of sexual assault and time since the #MeToo movement began. Methods: Participants were 2,566 college students who completed a sexual assault survey over the course of 3 years, overlapping with the onset of the #MeToo movement. Results: Regarding our hypothesis that the prevalence of sexual assault-indicated by standardized behaviorally specific questions-would be relatively constant over time after controlling for demographics, a Bayesian logistic regression model yielded inconclusive results. However, among the 596 students who endorsed behaviorally specific screeners for sexual assault, a Bayesian linear regression model revealed that, after controlling for demographics and characteristics of the assault, participants were increasingly likely to label the experience a "sexual assault" with more time post-#MeToo. Conclusions: Overall, findings revealed no evidence for or against changes in the prevalence of sexual assault, but suggested there were associations between the #MeToo movement and greater recognition of past unwanted sexual experiences as "sexual assault" over time. These findings highlight the importance of considering the social context in research examining sexual assault survivors' cognitions.

“…The prevalence of sexual harassment in the workplace has gained greater public awareness due to the #MeToo movement. Launched as a hashtag by activist Tarana Burke in 2006 to promote public understanding of sexual assault and abuse, the movement caught fire in 2017, following sexual assault accusations against celebrity film producer Harvey Weinstein and the media frenzy and grassroot activism that followed (Gibson et al, 2019; Larabee, 2018; McCann et al, 2018). This widespread reckoning starkly illuminated the degree of sexual harassment lurking in the workplace that has never been properly addressed (McCann et al, 2018).…”

The prevalence of sexual harassment in the workplace has become more visible thanks to the #MeToo movement. For college students about to enter the workforce, it is important to understand and learn to address situations surrounding gender-based harassment. I present here a series of situations that provide students with the opportunity to discuss behaviors they might experience or witness at work. This experiential exercise focuses on providing students with tools to manage small but disturbing offenses that can, if nipped in the bud, lessen the likelihood of more significant workplace problems. The exercise complements organizational behavior, women in business, contemporary issues in management, business law, human resources, and other courses.
