Two households, both alike in dignity...

I won’t talk about how they had their phones out, or that they were talking the whole way through the film.

But the group of girls next to us at last nights Secret Cinema stood out to me because of one comment.

“Wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied!”

Romeo exclaims at Juliet after they have been kissing in the pool in Baz Lurhman’s Romeo + Juliet.

Prose written 500 years ago, prose written to convey that Romeo is a man in love, having just met Juliet and and she’s going to leave because her family are calling for her.

Prose written in to convey that Romeo doesn’t know where he stands, what happens next, how they can make their forbidden love last.

“Hashtag Me Too”

Yelled one of the girls in the group.

No. No no no.

The hashtag #MeTop has risen from the internet to become a powerful way to empower women to speak out about the sexual harassment and abuse they have suffered at the hands of men. The most high profile of which are the likes of Harvey Weinstein, Matt Lauer of Fox News and even Democrat Al Franken. It’s given women a public space for something that is spoken of in private conversations. It gives us a chance to say “I hear you” and “that happened to me too.”

So for someone so ignorant to yell out a hashtag synonymous with empowerment of victims at such an inappropriate time was disheartening. And so maddening.

If a man was pushing himself on a woman and she wasn’t consenting and he said “don’t leave me so unsatisfied” then yes, that's sexual harassment. He would have no right to demand she comply, think only of his needs. It’s all about context.

And for context, Juliet Capulet was consenting (although the fact she’s supposed to be 12 in the play is troubling, but things were different then and have mostly changed) and she was leaving because she was torn between the love of her life and her family duties. She didn’t want him to be discovered. The women who don’t speak out about sexual harassment aren’t protecting their harassers; they’re protecting themselves.

Has #MeToo divided women? Yes. Because women are not a homogenous group. There are bound to be differences of opinion, that's what makes us so human.

Perhaps that woman uses scorn and misappropriation as a defence mechanism. You can’t know that about a person until you talk to them. That’s what #MeToo has allowed us to do.
