Nobody -- NOBODY -- is saying that men and boys cannot be victims of sexual abuse or harassment or that those people are unwelcome to receive support. The point of the #MeToo campaign, though, is to show just how prevalent of an issue this is among
women in particular. Sexual harassment is something that practically all women and girls have to deal with in their lives, which has come as a shock to many men based on their reactions to the sheer volume of women they know sharing their stories with the #MeToo hashtag. By comparison, a much lower (but non-zero, granted) percentage of men are victims of sexual harassment. Men participating in #MeToo, a campaign that from its outset was
specifically designed to highlight just how common sexual harassment is for women, is akin to white people posting #AllLivesMatter.
