#MeToo Article Sandbox - READY FOR GRADING (NO FEEDBACK RECEIVED)
[edit]Sweden
[edit]The Me Too movement in Sweden resulted in the resolution of structural problems by the form of action plans and educational events organized around the country. [1] Some results that came from this include the government increasing funding for women's shelters, training for professionals on issues about sexual violence, increased tendency to report domestic violence, and inclusion of sex education in schools. [1]
On October 21, 2017, the Nordic Museum launched an online collection specifically for Me Too. [2] This launch came a day before demonstrations took place around the country and was created to collect stories from Swedish citizens on their experiences. They could choose to publish their stories publicly and also to be submitted the the archives for further research. [2] Images were also accepted but the museum chose to un-publish stories that appeared too personal. More than 170 stories were collected of which 66 were made public. [2]
Removal of music
[edit]In November 2018, WDOK Star 102, a radio station in Cleveland, Ohio, announced [that] they [had] removed the song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" from [that] their playlist because listeners felt the lyrics were inappropriate.[3] The station's host commented [that] "in a world where #MeToo has finally given women the voice they deserve, the song has no place". The streaming service Spotify removed music by XXXTentacion and R. Kelly from Spotify-[owned] curated playlists after allegations of "hateful conduct", but later reversed course because the allegations against the artists were unproven.
In March 2018, Morgan Stanley broker, [Douglas E. Greenberg] Douglas E. Greenberg, was put on [administrative leave] administrative leave after a [New York Times] New York Times story outlined harassment allegations by four women, including multiple arrests for the violation of restraining orders, and a threat to burn down an ex-girlfriend's house. It has been called the #MeToo moment of [Portland] Portland's financial service industry.
U.S. media and fashion industries
[edit]
The phrase "Me [too] Too" was tweeted by Milano [around noon] on October 15, 2017, and had been used more than 200,000 times by the end of the day[,]. [and] It was also tweeted more than 500,000 times by October 16[.] [On Facebook,] and the hashtag was used by more than 4.7 million people in 12 million posts during the first 24 hours on Facebook. The platform reported [that] 45% of users in the United States had a friend who had posted using the term.
[Tens of thousands of people, including hundreds of celebrities, replied with #MeToo stories.] Some men, such as actors Terry Crews and James Van Der Beek, have responded to the hashtag with their own experiences of harassment and abuse. Others have responded by acknowledging past behaviors against women, spawning the hashtag #HowIWillChange.
In addition to Hollywood, "Me Too" declarations elicited discussion of sexual harassment and abuse in the music industry, sciences, academia, and [politics] politics.
Feminist author, Gloria Feldt, stated in [Time] Time magazine that many employers are being forced to make changes in response to the #MeToo movement [,]. [for] For example, employers now are examining gender-based pay differences and improving sexual harassment policies. Others have noted there has been pressure on companies, specifically in the financial industry, to disclose diversity statistics.[clarification needed]
In February 2019, actress Emma Thompson wrote a letter to the American production company, Skydance Media, to explain that she [had] pulled out of the production of the animated feature film, Luck, the month prior because of the company's decision to hire Disney Chief Creative Officer, John Lasseter, who had been accused of harassing women while at Disney. His behavior resulted in his decision to take a six-month leave of absence from the company, as he indicated in a memo in which he acknowledged "painful" conversations and unspecified "missteps".
[Among others,] Thompson stated: "If a man has been touching women inappropriately for decades, why would a woman want to work for him if the only reason he's not touching them inappropriately now is that it says in his contract that he must behave 'professionally'?".
The 2019 rerelease of Toy Story 2 had a blooper scene during the credits removed due to sexual misconduct concerns.
