Ever since a student opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, last Wednesday and killed
I knew a backlash to #metoo was coming. But I didn’t think it would come from the kinds of women I’ve looked up to for my entire life. Women are finally being heard when we complain about sexual harassment and misconduct at work and in our private lives. The powers that be are finally holding
