#MeToo has been studied as an international social movement that offered a model for women’s rights activism. Using a mixed method approach, this article examines #MeTooIndia between 2018 and 2021, through the analysis of 354,496 tweets combined with a media framing analysis of news coverage and qualitative interviews. It discusses the chronology of the movement and assesses the more precise mechanisms by which the participatory and transformative potentials of #MeToo were realized – or not – in the particular case of India. It shows that instead of strengthening victim’s and feminists’ voices, the violence and abuse many women experience on the platform can lead to self-censorship and even driving them off X completely; leaving mainly the floor to ‘meninists’ who think they are victimized by feminism and who use #MeTooIndia to defend their struggle. This specific case study questions the (non)inclusivity of women in the Twittersphere in India and beyond.
