The year 2018 revealed a number of sexual harassment stories into public conversation as part of the #MeToo movement. The campaign has relatively spread across all professions and work industries. Today, the society is already hypersensitive towards sexual talks, and the campaigns such as #MeeToo make it even more difficult to overlook these stories; it has challenged the demarcation of important and superfluous accusations which gives rise to various ethical dilemmas. Therefore, the #MeToo movement becomes significant to evaluate both sides of a coin, and assess a situation from various ethical paradigms in order to reach an ethically acceptable solution.
