SURVEY: AMERICANS More Skeptical Of Women Claiming Sex Harassment After Year Of #MeToo
The #MeToo movement was supposed to increase awareness of the supposed danger and oppression American women face constantly. Instead, the movement, which demands men be ruined on mere allegations alone and suggests no allegation is false or exaggerated, seems to have made Americans more skeptical of accusations. A survey from YouGov and the Economist shows after a year of the hashtag, Americans are shifting toward those accused without due process. The proportion who think that women who complain about sexual harassment cause more problems than they solve has grown from 29% to 31%. And 18% of Americans now think that false accusations of sexual assault are a bigger problem than unreported assaults, compared with 13% in November last year. Surprisingly, these changes in opinion against victims (accusers) have been slightly stronger among women than men.
