A 15-member panel that examined misogyny and other issues related to the culture of New Jersey politics recommends a series of changes in a 76-page report.
When our social media feeds were filled with women posting "#MeToo" I blogged about how lucky I felt to have never experienced sexual harrassment or abuse. But then I read a post from a classmate that struck a nerve. She mentioned the creepy guys who would prey on high school girls wearing uniform skirts. Ah, yes. That made me remember something that I had blocked out: Standing on crowded subway trains I was touched inappropriately on numerous occasions during my 4 years of taking the train to Manhattan. Everybody's talking about sexual misconduct nowadays and that's a good thing that's coming out of all this bad news. I sense the tide is turning. Society has to change. People need to be respected.
