Tambe claims that #MeToo is good for bringing awareness to the issues of sexual assault, but it focuses on "punishment rather than transforming workplace hierarchies" that make sexual assault pandemic. How do we begin to transform #MeToo into institutional change? #WS4590

Catherine MacKinnon talks about the transformation of rape culture with the rise of #MeToo , which repulses harassment & "could change workplaces & schools. It could restrain repeat predators as well as the occasional and casual exploiters that the law so far has not."

In Tambe's article, she discussed the difference between predatory and transactional sex, and further more the differences between coercive and non-coercive transactional sex. These differences are important to understand the vast realm of sexual assault as it fits into #MeToo.

One thing's for sure about Simone de Beauvoir- she's firm in her beliefs. "I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth — and truth rewarded me." She sought truth in order to point out issues in society.

"Harassment has been endemic to the way we do business. It has been tireless and unyielding." Couldn't have said it better myself.

“My transness, queerness, and Blackness render my claims even less believable in a society that views me as inherently deviant.” -Raquel Willis
This quote is important because it speaks to the roots of the #MeToo movement. #WS4590

#WS4590 Talk about privilege.

#WS4590 I think this quote perfectly sums up activism and the power of the #MeToo movement.
