Is Metoo Allegation Criminal? Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

To say that I'm raped is to say I'm spoiled.
It is a shame and woman goes invalid.
To say that I was sexually harassed
Is to say I'm not spoilt and came unscathed.

MeToo stands for victim of sexual advances.
It involves no shame but still costs future
If the accused has got power to deliver.
So women come with MeToo of the past.

MeToo allegation by women against men
Can be genuine, exaggerated or minimised
Depending upon how their relations stand.
To settle a score can be a chief motive.

The consent crossed, the favour belied,
The over exploitation and vengeance
Can be the cause for the affected ones
Who had wanted jobs, roles, crowns or favours.

Neither molestation nor rape has formed
The contention of the allegation.
It refers to suggestive words or lewd touch
Only once with no more force employed.
