The #MeToo movement has taken over the social media space by storm, and it is not only in India but across the world. This is also one of those rare occasions that a hashtag is not just yet another inane fad or tirade, but something akin to a collective cry against the practice of sexual harassment and abuse so prevalent in our society. Taking the narrative forward is another hashtag that was born out of the #MeToo moverment – #SoDoneChilling. Men, after reading the deluge of posts that have flooded various social media platforms, have been using the #SoDoneChilling hashtag to apologise for their past behaviour, confess and then resolve to change.
Among those who tweeted out using the hashtag was a writer, whose confessional Twitter thread has gone viral. "I wanted to write a full piece on this but meanwhile here's a thread on how I've been horrible to women in the past. #MeToo #SoDoneChilling," he tweeted. He wrote on the thread, "In college, I popped girls' bra straps in class, from behind. It was a laugh, and I used to tell people about it with barely hidden pride… It can be difficult. Just posting this makes me anxious. But I'm doing the BARE MINIMUM. We all should be speaking up a lot more… It's not about feeling good about yourself. It's about doing what's right. That's all. We've let this go on for millenia. Let's end it."
Over Monday and Tuesday, many men – including comedian-actor Vir Das – have come forward expressing support. Though not even close the same numbers as #MeToo, #SoDoneChilling has also had many come forward with confessions of their own along with a sense of regret of having done what they did.
It's the beginning of a new week and I'm #soDoneChilling. The time to talk about sexual harassment and abuse, is now.

#soDoneChilling, because my lethargy to speak up directly contributes to unsafe environments for women.

I've done the same in the past. Now I realise I was cravenly having it both ways. Being woke & preserving my brotherhood. #sodonechilling

I am guilty of making jokes about things I shouldn't have. I will try to be more responsible with my words henceforth. #sodonechilling

If you're drunk, go the fuck home and lie the fuck down. Don't make it an excuse for acting like the privileged fuck you think you are. #EatShit #SoDoneChilling

I will take care of my actions and words as well as men around me and make sure that we are not complicit anymore. #sodonechilling

10 years ago, after a night of drinking more than I should have, I tried to kiss a girl who I had been in a physical relationship with…

regretted my actions ever since and haven't been able to forgive myself. I don't blame the alcohol. #sodonechilling

Stop making jokes with sexual tones and connotations about your female friends, especially when they're not comfortable with it.

I was 12 and lifted up the skirt of a girl in my class, thought it was fun, didn't know it was wrong. My kids know better #SoDoneChilling https://t.co/LGwtlUxJ3s

The last time I victim-blamed, I was 17.
I very obviously got shut down strongly. And I didn't get it right away— Garbage Koala (@february_31st) 16 October 2017

The #MeToo social media movement may have started in the US by Charmed actor Alyssa Milano, but it has now spread like wildfire acrorss the world. And, though, the genesis of the #SoDoneChilling is a positive step forward with people making themselves accountable, as we've seen in the past, the road from intention to execution often remains half tread. Here's hoping this time it's a lot more than just a fad.
