From the New Yorker, one year of #MeToo: Jia Tolentino on what women’s speech is still not allowed to do; and Katy Waldman on how “he said, she said” is a literary problem, too. The protagonists: Living in a world built by years and years of stories about white men who take whatever they want. How a long history of sidelining women has made us less likely to believe their experiences. The rape allegation against Cristiano Ronaldo will test the limits of the #MeToo movement (and more). Less than 1% of rapes lead to felony convictions — at least 89% of victims face emotional and physical consequences. A conversation about repair: Katie McDonough interviews Alisa Bierria, founder and coordinator of the Feminist Anti-Carceral Policy and Research Initiative. She founded Me Too — now she wants to move past the trauma.
Anna North on the #MeToo movement and its evolution, explained. #MeToo, one year later: Things are different — are they better?
