The concept of victim blaming didn't explode until the 2010s with #MeToo# and "believe all women." We think this conditioned people to reflexively, thoughtlessly "believe all underdogs" even if they were aggressors, causing terrorists to get BETTER reputations after attacking.

Shannon Elizabeth is looking back at the hidden-camera scene in ‘American Pie,’ which has become increasingly controversial: ‘With the whole #MeToo# movement, everyone is scared to say anything now.’

Actress Tanushree Dutta has responded to the criticism she received after calling Nana Patekar’s death the end of “evil”. Patekar died suddenly on Thursday, October 8, after a cardiac arrest. Read here : #TanushreeDutta# #NanaPatekar# #MeToo# #Bollywood# #RIPNanaPatekar# #DNAUpdates#

Do colleges face a rape crisis—or has the definition of nonconsent steadily expanded? Christina Buttons makes the case for the second hypothesis. NCVS data actually show that rape and sexual-assault rates fell from 4.3 to 2.0 per 1,000 people (age 12+) between 1993 and 2024. What has expanded, however, is the range of sexual experiences now labeled as nonconsensual--including silence, insufficient enthusiasm, intoxication, or later regret. Affirmative-consent activism, accelerated by Obama-era Title IX policy and the #MeToo# wave, encouraged women to reclassify past encounters they once viewed as consensual (or merely as bad sex) as assault, Buttons contends. Flawed campus surveys furthered the narrative, with the Cornell case being the latest flashpoint. And activists now want the expanded standard written into law.
