"There should be a new etiquette guidebook in the light of recent sexual harassment scandal, Canadian author Margaret Atwood has said."

Margaret Atwood faced a Twitter storm after writing a column on the Me Too movement - suggested men needed advice on behaviour. Speaking on BBC Radio 4's The World at One, she said "personal behaviour" needed to be tackled.

The Handmaid's Tale author said "ordinary people" needed the advice. She faced a backlash after questioning the impact of Me Too, which was sparked by the accusations made against Harvey Weinstein and others in Hollywood. In her first broadcast interview since then, she repeated her view that such a movement is a "symptom of something being wrong", but "it's not an end goal".

I have chosen this piece of news to demonstrate masculinity within the media, to represent how woman feel about Harvey Weinstein situation. In my opinion, the Me Too movement allows woman to stand out and get in-front of Harvey Weinstein and other men..
