NYU Unveiling Silence Through the Me Too Movement Discussion

Find an example of a recent or past cultural event or moment in which silence played an important role in communicating a message. Attach a link or image to the example if available (this can be a video, audio, news report, or op-ed).

Discuss briefly why this silence was impactful (positive or negative) and why the gender of the speaker/communicator is significant to the message.

Choose your examples thoughtfully when considering this aspect – would this silence have had a different impact if the gender of the speaker was different? How so? (offer a critical/analytical point of view rather than personal opinion!).
