Abstract: Introduction: The "Me too" movement against sexual harassment has spread in a big way on the social media with many men defending the allegations against them. Aim: To examine the current evidence on the 4 major defenses against sexual harassment—consensual sexual behavior, behavior as "normal, " complaint without proof has no meaning, and long delay in filing complaints. Method: The literature on "Metoo" movement against sexual harassment was retrieved and critically examined to determine the extent to which it supports the 4 defenses. Conclusion: The 4 major defenses against #Metoo allegations are not tenable.
