The original purpose of "Me Too" as used by Tarana Burke in 2006 was to empower women through empathy, especially young and vulnerable women. In October 2017, American actress, Alyssa Milano encouraged using the phrase as a hashtag to help reveal the extent of problems with sexual harassment and assault by showing how many people have experienced these events themselves. It therefore encourages women to speak up about their abuses, knowing that they are not alone. The movement spread beyond Hollywood calling out perpetrators in the music industry, sciences, academia, politics and even students in K-12 schools. So-called "whisper networks" have also formed where private lists of "people to avoid "are shared unofficially in nearly every major institution or industry where sexual harassment is common due to power imbalances, including government, media, news, and academia. These lists have the stated purpose of warning other workers in the industry and are shared from person to person, on forums, in private social media groups, and via spreadsheets.
(From: Wikipedia contributors. (2024, June 27). MeToo movement. In Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Retrieved 22:41, June 28, 2024, from https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MeToo_movement&oldid=1231354954)
One such list has been rumored to exist in the field of applied behavior analysis warning conference attendees and employees of people to avoid or risk exposure to predatory behavior.
In this episode, we dig into the experiences of behavior analysts, the availability and usefulness of reporting procedures, and behaviors we can engage in to protect others from perpetrators.
