Thoughts on the “wave of women” coming forward with allegations of sexual assault in multiple industries.

We have finally arrived at a moment of “national reckoning” for a society and a world that has too long been governed by might and testosterone.  The new day has come, and this tribulation will of course be an ordeal for offenders and uncomfortable for many participants along the way.  I believe in “due process”, ethics investigations, sexual harassment-awareness trainings, enlightened-cognizance, discernment and justice.  Some companies have morality contracts requiring lesser levels of proof; more accountability.  But for many of us living in this “rape culture”, we don’t need to be convinced that there is still an avalanche of credible allegations sliding down the mountainside to topple inequality and abuse in the workplace.  We need path-breaking action now ….. creating safe and respectful workplaces for our loved ones and future generations.  We especially CANNOT ALLOW predators to thrive in the top echelons of our government!   The voices are NOW being heard!   The Revolution is …. HERE!
