“The #MeToo movement has opened the floodgates of women (and some men) telling their own stories of sexual harassment and assault, both in the workplace and out. Like most catharses, it was a long time coming.

For those who have harbored shame or guilt over their own Harvey Weinstein-like encounters, the recent flood of stories from victims, both famous and non-famous, has to be somewhat comforting. Whether any of this will lead to real change is, of course, an open question. There is reason to be cynical, given the recent promotion and/or tolerance of alleged and even admitted sexual predators, but one can always hope.

Even for women who haven’t been harassed or assaulted (which I am fortunate enough to be), there is a price to be paid for a culture that denigrates and objectifies women.
