“While I’m grateful for the opportunities that @missamerica creates for young women, I am also internally conflicted; as the #metoo movement was mocked on stage during the final competition of Miss Massachusetts,” she wrote. “As both a survivor, and advocate for victims rights and sexual violence on a whole, I refuse to stand idly by and simply ‘let this go.’”

“Instead, I will stand up for every individual who has ever had the courage to speak out; and for every person who felt liberated by the #metoo movement,” she writes. “I will not allow ANYONE to take away that empowerment and liberation, or make it anything less than what it is: AMAZING.”

The emcee in question reportedly put on a skit in which he bemoaned the elimination of the swimsuit portion of all Miss America pageants, and mocked the #MeToo movement, which has encouraged and empowered women to share their stories of surviving sexual harassment and assault, calling for an end to the overwhelming flood of women saying, “Me too.”

Gorman told CNN she was backstage with the other contestants at the time, and while none of them saw the skit, they could hear it.

“We were all shocked,” she continued. “We said, ‘Oh my god. I cannot believe that just happened. Did that just really happen?’”

It’s absolutely unacceptable, but it’s not really all that shocking. This news comes just days after Donald Trump similarly mocked the #MeToo movement, and all the survivors of sexual violence who have spoken out, during a campaign rally in North Dakota. The women who have joined the movement are strong as hell, despite all these powerful men who want to continue to abuse and oppress them. We all have to follow Gorman’s lead and stand strong against them.
