When did the “me too” movement<\/a> become popular? How did founder Tarana Burke feel about the growth of the “me too” movement?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burke explains that her grassroots \u201cme too\u201d movement eventually transformed into something much larger. This transformation evoked both hopes and fears for the future of the movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s explore that transformation and its effects now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How \u201cme too\u201d Became #MeToo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Burke explains that her \u201cme too\u201d movement became a national phenomenon shortly after she moved to Philadelphia. She promoted it via Myspace, which created an influx of questions about how survivors could get involved or access resources. But the “me too” movement became popular in 2017, 12 years after Burke established it.<\/strong> In the wake of accusations levied against director Harvey Weinstein, actor Alyssa Milano tweeted a request for any woman who\u2019d experienced sexual violence to use the hashtag #MeToo. Milano hoped that this would illustrate how pervasive sexual violence was. The hashtag exploded in popularity, leading to what\u2019s known as the #MeToo movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: The #MeToo movement was one of a series of Twitter campaigns, occurring in short succession, that were designed to raise awareness about sexual violence. Other trending hashtags included #NotOkay<\/a>, inspired by Trump\u2019s predatory behavior, and #BelieveWomen<\/a>, inspired by Christine Blasey Ford\u2019s accusation against then-nominee for the Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh. After Milano tweeted #MeToo, which she said she hoped would shift attention onto victims and away from offenders<\/a> like Weinstein, a deluge of tweets<\/a> about sexual violence followed, ushering in a new era of online sexual violence disclosures<\/a>. In 2020, Weinstein was sentenced to 23 years in prison<\/a> for his sexual crimes, although the conviction was overturned<\/a> in 2024.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Burke learned about the #MeToo hashtag, she feared that wealthy white women were co-opting her movement, which was intended to prioritize Black people\u2019s healing. To some extent, she says, that\u2019s exactly what happened: The #MeToo hashtag focused national attention on wealthy white women\u2019s experiences of sexual violence, even though Black girls, women, and nonbinary people suffer disproportionately higher rates of sexual violence and <\/em>are less likely to access support and healing resources. However, Burke also says that #MeToo paved the way for victims who felt alone or ashamed to speak their truth and make healing connections with a community of survivors\u2014in this respect, her original intentions for the movement were realized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: The lack of support Black women receive despite their increased risk of sexual violence is rooted in historic racism. In Redefining Rape<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>historian Estelle Freedman explains how racist stereotypes led to cultural and legal definitions of rape<\/a> that made it impossible for Black women and girls to identify as victims (especially when the perpetrators were white men). For example, in some states, the age of consent was lower for Black girls than for white girls, making Black girls more vulnerable to abuse without options for recourse. Black survivors, including Burke\u2019s child Kaia, argue that this form of racism is ongoing<\/a>\u2014to illustrate, one expert notes that Black-centered sexual violence organizations tend to receive less funding.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burke\u2019s Work on Surviving R. Kelly<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Burke has lent her expertise on healing from sexual violence to projects outside her \u201cme too\u201d movement. For example, she contributed to the Surviving R. Kelly<\/em> docuseries, which detailed R&B artist R. Kelly\u2019s serial abuse of Black girls and women. Burke says that she hoped this docuseries would create an opportunity for honest, healing conversations about sexual violence in the Black community, empower Black women to speak up and begin healing, and encourage Black men to join the fight against sexual violence. However, the docuseries provoked significant backlash from the Black community, and she was accused of hating Black men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burke lists a few reasons for the backlash that resulted from Surviving R. Kelly: <\/em>First, the Black community often protects men who are accused of sexual violence. This tendency evolved from a history of white women falsely accusing Black men of rape, which led to the men\u2019s incarceration or death. The community is especially likely to protect Black men who make valuable contributions to Black culture\u2014both R. Kelly and James Bevel, who we mentioned earlier, fall into this category. Protecting these men often amounts to silencing or scorning their Black female accusers. Second, because white racists view Black people as a homogenous group, Black people are incentivized not to draw attention<\/a> to any Black person\u2019s moral failings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burke explains that since neither the #MeToo movement nor the fallout of the Surviving R. Kelly <\/em>series created space for the Black community to begin healing from sexual violence, she continues to promote that healing from inside the community-focused \u201cme too\u201d movement. She hopes that by continuing to share her story and work with individuals within her community, she can foster a supportive environment for Black survivors of sexual violence and encourage a culture of accountability for abusers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
