Book your ticket to happiness with Sun Express Airlines. Hello and this is Ella Wheeling I'm the assistant editor at Spiked and this week I talk to Brendan

O'Neill on the renewed further behind Me Too. Phil Mullen talks to me about what Corrillion tells us about the UK economy and Claire Fox gives us the low down

on the continuing war between trans activists and feminists. Unless you've been in a hole in the ground for the last six months you'll now be familiar with the hashtag Me Too.

The sexual harassment panic has now been raging for about four or five months and it shows no sign of stopping. In fact, with the new Times Up campaign in

Hollywood and more accusations surfacing each week, it seems that the support for this

sexual witch hunt is stronger than ever. But what's really going on here is this more than just a hashtag. Do normal women actually believe in this social media movement? To discuss this I spoke to Spikes editor Brendan O'Neill.

So Brendan has the Me Too movement died off since it started in 2017 or do you think that it is

carrying on raging in full force this year?

I think it's definitely carrying on. I think it's going to carry on for a while. I think the fact that it's carrying on,

the fact that it's actually getting stronger by the looks of things and crazier and more determined to destroy men for the, you know, most minor of misdemeanors.

I think the fact that that's happening is really interesting because what it suggests is that there's something

else driving this than just a hashtag or even just influential celebrities and journalists,

many of whom are falling in line behind this movement, there's got to be something else, something more powerful, motoring it.

And I think that is a lot of incredibly problematic political trends that have been growing in force for decades now. Like for example the culture

of victimhood where everyone wants to see themselves as a victim and you win public praise and you

get moral purchase through being a victim.

So there's a real invitation to people to act the victim.

So that's one of the most important factors here,

where more and more well-off, well-connected influential women recognize how valuable the

cult of victimhood is and will do anything to define themselves as a victim even

if it means exaggerating an experience they had or making out that it was the worse than it actually was.

So the victim culture is very important.
