WEATHER ALERT

A dense fog advisory in effect for Western Marion Region

TARANA BURKE


5 years on, key #MeToo voices take stock of the movement

“I think the MeToo movement definitely gave predators pause to act on their inclinations,” she said. Cosby’s lawyers loudly derided her as a “con artist” during the first celebrity trial of the #MeToo era, in 2018. And that’s exactly how not to measure the success of the #MeToo movement, says Tarana Burke — as a scorecard of high-profile “wins” and “losses,” and through the lens of celebrity. Rather, says the advocate for sexual violence survivors, cultural change should be the key metric. Burke notes proudly that a new Pew study shows more than twice as many Americans support, rather than oppose, #MeToo.

First, she was a survivor: #MeToo's Burke tells her story

It was a phrase she had come up with over years of working with survivors of sexual violence. We don’t pay attention to the nuances of what survival looks like or what sexual violence feels like and how it impacts our lives. It feels really isolating, particularly if you’re dealing with sexual violence. I say this in the book: little Black girls in Selma and white women in Hollywood really need the same things. But that’s OK, because what happened in October 2017 was a phenomenal moment that we shouldn’t be trying to duplicate.

#MeToo Take 2? Movement’s strength hailed amid Cuomo fallout

(Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP, File) (Evan Agostini)NEW YORK — (AP) — Anita Hill educated a nation about workplace sexual harassment back in 1991 with calm, deliberate testimony against Clarence Thomas. Katz said the Cuomo result would simply never have happened before #MeToo. Tarana Burke, the activist who gave the #MeToo movement its name, noted that many had been disturbed by the fact that Cuomo, who presented himself as a strong ally of the #MeToo movement, is accused of engaging in harassing behavior at the very same time. “The fact that he would do this lets me know that power is just insidious,” she said of Cuomo. When people think of #MeToo, I want them to think of 22-year-old college students … (people) thinking bigger and brighter and braver and bolder than I am."
