MeToo
According to Wikipedia, the "Me Too" movement (or "#MeToo", with local alternatives in other languages) spread virally in October 2017 as a hashtag used on social media to help demonstrate the widespread prevalence of sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace. It followed soon after the public revelations of sexual misconduct allegations against Harvey Weinstein. The phrase created by Tarana Burke was popularized by Alyssa Milano when she encouraged women to tweet it to "give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem". Since then, the phrase has been posted online millions of times, often with an accompanying personal story of sexual harassment or assault.

This caller will make you understand real sex abuse and how people can ever come through it .....

from Rush Limbaugh,
10/4/18:

RUSH: Sonia in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, it’s great to have you on the EIB Network. Hello.

CALLER: I thank God every day for you and your staff, and I pray for you. I just want to say I don’t think I’ve heard anybody talk about this. I am a victim of rape. I’m healing. I’m healed from God. But I’m gonna tell you something. If I ever had to go before the Senate or anybody, I would not be reading it from a book, and… Are you there?

CALLER: Okay. My mother sold me for alcohol. I have been raped many times, and I can go back over every rape. RUSH: Holy smokes. CALLER: I can tell you the smells. I can tell you the rooms I was in. I can tell you clothes that I was wearing, that the suspect was wearing. I can tell you the positions. I can tell you what the room colors were. I can tell you details. RUSH: Sonia, how did you…? How in the world did you — I don’t know what the word is — recover from this or survive all of this? How did you do it?
