During the Women's Liberation Movement of the 1960s, women challenged restrictions placed on them by traditional moral and family values, government restrictions on interpersonal and private behavior and women's roles in the work environment...However, engaging in predatory sexual behaviors has always been illegal. "Sexual misconduct" refers to a category of crimes that are sexual in nature: "...any act that a person engages in for the purpose of sexual gratification, which is either against the other person's will, or without his or her consent." These include: -Rape-Sexual harassment-Unwanted touching-Exposing oneself-Engaging in sexual acts in public-Forcing someone to engage in an unwanted sexual act. Set in the 1960's, #MeToo: Bridget Lewis Survives Child Abuse, A Teenage Girl Moves On addresses these issues. It was not until 2017, that the phrase, MeToo, protesting sexual harassment, sexual assault and sexual abuse of women and underage girls by men, developed into #MeToo, a national survivors healing movement.
