#MeToo has seen women around the world sharing their experiences with sexual harassment and sexual assault. Now two other hashtags have grown in response, and these are about experiences on the other side of #MeToo.

These hashtags take the focus away from actually listening to women’s experiences, and are deeply problematic on a host of levels.
