Melanie Trump gives her insight on the #MeToo movement and I really wish she hadn’t.

It has been a year since the #MeToo movement spread virally across the social media platforms throughout the world. Since then,  the movement has created a community of survivors who share their stories of sexual assault and abuse as well as encouragement and motivation to overcome this terrible phenomenon.

This year has not been easy for victims of sexual assault as they are constantly reminded of their abuse from headline after headline. The most recent headline has involved Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused by Christine Blasey-Ford. Ford shared her heartbreaking story of what occurred the night of her assault with all of America. In result, Kavanaugh was still voted in as the new Supreme Court Justice of the United States, a devastating feat for the survivors of sexual assault all over the world.

Following the hearings, the First Lady shared her opinion with the world stating that “if you accuse (someone) of something, show the evidence.”

Personally, I believe Melania Trumps comments about survivors is both a form of victim shaming and a prime example of shifting the blame. Telling a survivor that they need to make sure they have “hard core evidence” after being sexually violated and humiliated is offensive and disgusting. Though this is something I do not believe should have been said by the first lady, it is not surprising after hearing her husbands crude comments about the topic.
