Awareness is a form of doing nothing. It opens no dialogue to the conversation that needs to be had. It's just a form of saying "yea, I want you to look. I don't really care about the issue to open up a conversation about it, but I am happy if you just look".
In other words, without opening dialogue and discussion on the issue of sexual assault and how it affects everyone, I am afraid all this campaign is doing is giving an opportunity for navel gazers to navel gaze.
Seems to me that the campaign is a way to open dialogue.
It isn't. Not in this thread, and definitely not outside of this site, at all.
All I see is a bunch of people tweeting or putting up in their statuses "#metoo" or a variation of it. Nobody is asking or engaging in the difficult questions that need to be asked.
