One year ago, when The New York Times published the Weinstein allegations, it induced a domino effect. The media then sent the careers of Matt Lauer, Louis C.K, Kevin Spacey, among many others on a downward spiral, and the hashtag #MeToo, blew up on social media feeds across the world.
Professor Christine Blasey Ford came forward with the news that Supreme Court Nominee sexually assaulted her when the two were in high school, and the live media coverage sparked a frenzy on social media.

Kirke revealed that she was raped by her drug dealer in her early 20's, and how she was invalidated through the judgment of her decisions.

If you can't even let your wife answer a direct question on Fox News, you definitely should not be on the Supreme Court.

One sentence says it all.

Ava Duvernay
“Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking the whole truth and acting accordingly.” Friday at noon local time. Wherever you are.

Remember: What you are seeing today is not the declaration of a war waged on women. This is the continuation of a war waged on women. The war is as old as time itself. We are going to have to continue the hard work of this battle, one day at a time, one election after another.
