Last October, the hashtag #MeToo became a rallying cry. Almost overnight, social media exploded with people sharing their stories of sexual assault and sexual harassment. During this episode of Unsettled: Mapping #MeToo, we hear from Tarana Burke, the founder of the #MeToo movement.
Since #MeToo went viral, there's been a growing conversation surrounding consent, and we see "yes means yes" winning over "no means no," as a way to ask about having sex.
More than one high-profile politician, or worried mother, has voiced the concern that "it's a scary time to be a young man in America," post #MeToo. And it's true that the movement has left young men and women with a giant mess of ever-changing expectations to navigate when it comes to dating and negotiating sex.
In July of 2018, 20-year-old Mollie Tibbetts of Brooklyn, Iowa went out for a run and never came home. More than a month later, her body was found in a cornfield.
#MeToo continues to be a powerful conversation starter about power dynamics and gender roles, and phrases like "toxic masculinity" are becoming mainstream.

We've come a long way, baby! But how far? Women's roles, women's rights and women's identities in our culture are constantly shifting. On the new season of Unsettled, we explore different aspects of womanhood. We're starting with pivotal moments for women in popular culture. Then we talk feminism, women's reproductive responsibilities, women's labor at home and in the workplace. And - we ask: what does it mean to be a woman today?
To identify and understand what it means to be a woman, it's important to start with understanding identity and how we establish our own identities. Then, how our identities shape - and are shaped by - our communities and the world around us. From there, we use our identities to establish our own autonomy.
