N. A sweeping phrase used to describe any range of behavior involving sex, intimacy, or genitalia that is alleged to be inappropriate by the accuser or the speaker. The behavior may be illegal such as extortion, assault and battery, or indecent exposure, but more often it is a legally ambiguous situation where two consenting adults were involved in the situation until one participant, usually the woman, seeks to contest the context, unspoken assumptions, or power dynamics in the circumstance. The disclosing party usually wishes to publicly expose or air moral qualms with the situation. Whether or not the conduct is truly wrong depends on ones personal views on matters involving gender roles, sex, marriage, jocular conduct, and workplace norms. The phrase is closely associated with the #MeToo movement whose proponents call for shifting the balance of power between genders in the workplace and opponents accuse the movement of being joyless manhaters.
