Stop the Trolls and Cat Calling
After watching the Stop the Trolls: Women fight online harassment on Youtube and reading some articles about the #MeToo movement could move from social campaign to social change in my #MCO335 class. There have been situations that I have been in very similar to Ashley in the Stop the Trolls Youtube video where I have had vulgar or uncomfortable comments or catcalls online and in person. I give them a chance to reword what they have said to me by saying excuse me in a stern voice which does not really work all the time, they repeat what they said. I follow how Ashley says it, “ Would you talk like that with your daughter around.” Most of the time they get embarrassed and mutter something and walk away or they just shut down. It shows that a lot more people need to really think about things that they are going to say before they say them. In regards to the #MeToo movement I believe that it has helped many people voice their situations or situation that they have felt too scared or uncomfortable to bring to public attention. This has also helped make people realize that things that people say or do may not be a big deal to them but may seem like a big deal to someone else.
