Midterm
I. Shown below is an original statement:

The #MeToo movement, founded by activist Tarana Burke in 2006 to support girls and
women of color who had experienced sexual violence, became a global phenomenon in
2017 when celebrities popularized the phrase as a hashtag when discussing sexual
violence and harassment in the entertainment industry. The hashtag took off, with 12
million tweets in the first 24 hours from 85 different countries that had at least 1,000
tweets each. While the movement has been galvanizing for many, feminist scholars
nonetheless have concerns about its unfolding, including the erasure of Black activist
women in many accounts and lack of awareness of how race, class, and celebrity status
are factors that influence why certain testimonies are more likely to be heard and
believed. Zarkov and Davis (2018) also worry that too much focus on individuals may
downplay that sexual violence is a collective problem that requires “grass-roots activism
as well as transforming institutions”.
