My Thoughts on What Everyone’s Talking About (Plus My Own “Me Too” Update)
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.
Mixed Bag of Thoughts On This Boss’s Day
Friend after friend after friend is posting "Me Too" on my Facebook. Twitter is full of famous and non-famous people using "#MeToo. Clearly this bad behavior is pervasive, so it's great that victims' voices are starting to be heard. My wish is that this trending topic will lead to positive changes in the entertainment industry and in all workplaces!
