And I think that was true for a lot of women when they saw the Me Too hashtag trending and all these women in the very unfortunate and not enviable situation of having been victims of criminal sexual assault. but it was a big topic. And I think a lot of women felt left out. And then they started kind of lowering the bar to what qualifies for that.

And it became sort of the me, me, me, me, me too movement. And also we started glorifying, there was a lot of attention on people who have PTSD or maybe from having been a victim of sexual assault or other reasons. And there was focus on that too. And so people want to be part of that as well.

They wanted to, you know, they kind of scrambled within themselves to see like, well, can't I qualify somehow? Don't I have some sort of trauma somehow? And then they started wearing it on their, like almost on a Girl Scout stash, you know, little badges. And you could see it on their profiles. I'm a this, I'm a that. You know, and they started sort of highlighting all the ways that they were

They could qualify for invisible disabilities or me, me, me, me too. And then it became a sacred cow. I think it's that Megan, like as soon as something becomes a sacred cow, you're screwed. You know, and then it became like, oh, you can't touch that. You can't touch anything to do with sexual assault. You can't touch anything to do with you can't question anybody. You can't look at the animals.

I saw a video of somebody putting a Great Dane. on an airplane. That's their emotional support dog. Yes, it's so ridiculous. And people are afraid to push back because it was so easy on social media. There was that momentum, right? It was so easy on social media to destroy your career, get you fired. And for anyone who says that's not true, you're either kidding yourself or you're

You're just kidding yourself. It's childish to say that that wasn't true. I know people for whom that's true. So it absolutely happened.

Yeah, but for those people who were taking advantage of it, that was always true. So imagine, where were those people before they decided they were going to join these hashtags, even though they didn't qualify? What was going on in their lives? What kind of people were they? And I would hazard a guess that they were lost. They didn't know what they were going to do with their lives.

They felt like they were of no consequence. They felt like they were not important. They felt like nobody was going to listen to them about anything. And maybe they were people who had not looked within themselves at their own basket of skills and talents that I believe every single person is born with, and they haven't bothered to develop any of those.
