#MeToo, Now What?

The reckoning has begun. Women have broken their silence and the world is finally listening. To have this moment be a transformative movement in American history, we examine the pain behind the anger, why it took so long for women to speak out, and the price women paid when they "Leaned In" and spoke up. Today we discuss how we move forward and dare to ask the questions others are afraid to ask.

This week, in an exclusive interview with Caroline, who many years ago was horribly groped by Devin Faraci, an influential film critic who committed the act, we explore how each experienced the assault and came to grips with it afterwards. Though each person has her or his own personal journey, today we share the story of two people searching for healing in their own lives.

Has the #MeToo movement gone too far? Find out why some progressive and conservative men think it has, while others are calling for men to step-up and reexamine the cultural meaning of masculinity and manhood.

In this episode we examine how mainstream cultural norms in music, advertisement, publications, gaming, and pornography have created an overtly sexualized and objectified image of women that has impacted social norms and the behavior of men and women.

To ensure the #MeToo movement leads to transformative change, we need to look at the structures that created this moment of women’s rage. Our panel exposes hidden cultural biases as they relate to patriarchy, equal pay, corporate culture, leadership, legal reforms, individual behavior, and how they intersect with race, class and gender. With guests Saru Jayaraman, Joanne Lipman, and Tony Porter.
