Him Too movement
The Him Too movement (or #HimToo movement), is a movement against false rape allegations.[1] #HimToo spread virally in October 2018 after a tweet from a mother about her son being afraid to date because of a climate of false rape allegations; the son quickly disavowed the tweet, saying it does not represent him or his opinions concerning sexual assault.[2]
History
The #HimToo movement came as part of the backlash to the #MeToo movement. An US mother tweeted about her son with this hash tag. She claimed that her son, Pieter Hanson, is afraid to go on dates because of false rape allegations. Pieter himself disavowed his mother’s tweet, saying that he does not avoid dating for fear of being accused of sexual misconduct, and that he supports the #MeToo movement.[3]
Media coverage
Since the hash tag #HimToo went viral on Twitter, there has been widespread discussion about the movement and allegation worldwide caused by Me Too movement.[4]
In response to the woman’s original tweet, several Twitter users posted responses mocking it.[1]
