Every news outlet is talking about it. Heck, every class I've been in has talked about it at least once.

It's disgusting to think that this has become a social norm and that some of the most powerful people have abused their fame to get what they want. It seems like there's a new, surprising offender every day. It really changes your perspective on who your idols really are, and it makes people realize that they're not good role models at all.

It started with Harvey Weinstein. He would invite women to his bedroom for a "meeting" about their project. This would lead to him attempting to persuade them into giving or receiving massages, watching him shower, or much worse. Kate Beckinsale, Cara Delevingne, and Gwyneth Paltrow are just three of the countless victims who have come to speak out against him. Weinstein has still continued to deny any allegations. However, more women began to announce their own accusations.

Thus, #MeToo began trending. Soon enough, the masses flooded in with their own stories of sexual assault.

Kevin Spacey was next. Anthony Rapp came forward and explained that Spacey sexually assaulted him when he was just 14. This began a slew of accusations ranging from young men to present cast members on "House of Cards". He has since tried to deflect the situation by coming out as gay. He has also been fired from his show, his upcoming film "All the Money in the World", and he will no longer be honored with the International Emmy Founders Award.

Many others have been accused, including, but not limited to, Ed Westwick (AKA Chuck Bass from "Gossip Girl"), actor Dustin Hoffman, and comedian Louis C.K.

Sexual assault happens every day. One out of every six American women have been victims of rape or attempted rape, and one out of every 33 men have suffered the same. Sexual violence has had lasting effects on plenty of people. This includes PTSD and suicidal thoughts.

I've been hearing recently that people are tired of hearing about all the accusations of sexual misconduct. To which I have to say: shame on you. It's a constant issue that should be brought up. It's ridiculous to think that it happens so often. It shouldn't be a cultural norm. Nonetheless, it should be mentioned. Victims should feel brave enough to come forward. It gives others the courage to speak up as well.

So I don't want to hear that you're "tired of hearing it". Maybe you could be an advocate for those who have been affected. Don't make people be afraid to speak out. Build victims up, don't tear them down.

Stand up for victims, and stand with them.
