A new national opinion survey finds that the Me Too movement is distinctly more popular than not: 51% of respondents say that the movement has helped address social inequality between men and women, while just 20% (mostly just partisan Republicans) say that it has instead led to unfair treatment of men. Data collected from another recent public survey -- the most comprehensive of its kind to date -- hints at why that may be:
-81% of women and 43% of men surveyed say that they have experienced sexual harassment before.
-27% of women and 7% of men surveyed say that they been sexually attacked before (up from 18% and 2% respectively in the most similar survey from 2010).
Perhaps then, in reality, Me Too has taken off and remains popular because it is addressing an actual, epidemic social problem and is not, as detractors contend, a "witch hunt".
