#Metoo

Hello, everyone! Today I wanna tell you about a realy serious and current problem in our cruel world - sexual harrasment. My academic writing teacher told me there is a  #metoo movement against sexual harrasment and sexual assault. Women share their awful experience in the different social networks using hastag #Metoo.

 I was fully appaled, when I read this horrible twit(https://twitter.com/NBYousafzai/status/1067452098927841280). Apart from the harrasment, a policeman killed the innocent girl as well. How on the earth that could happen? That means girls and women are fully defenseless, as even policemen can commit such a horrible crime.

Sexual harrasment is the definetely important problem in our world. Thousands of women and girls suffer from the sexual assult every day.

I just cannot imagine what such people think of when they do these terrible things... Do they live well after a rape they commit?

Dear frieds, what do you think about the sexual harrasmenet? Can we protect ourselves from such a thing and how?

Good evening, my dear friends! It took me quite a long time to make up my mind what I'd like to write about in my first blogpost. Finally, I decided my review is about this article (https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/oct/19/keira-knightley-kristen-bell-disney-princesses-cinderella-snow-white). I have found these interviews are noteworthy for you and me to think about.

First of all, I agree with Keira Knightley and Kristen Bell's opinions that sometimes Disney's fairytales do not have positive influence on children, especially on girls. As some of the points in old films are not actual right now and modern society demands all of its members are able to do something by themselves without someones's help. But it is not necessary to "ban" such films from children's watching. Parents just should draw ther children's attention to the points parents do not agree and explain to their children why.

Hope this theme make you think of something important for you. Will be glad, on condition that you write me if you agree with me and my point of view or not.
