This should be obvious, but rumors about a woman sleeping her way to the top of the corporate ladder can constitute sexual harassment under federal law. #ThatsHarassment #MeToo on.nwlc.org/2xx50pW
Malicious rumors questioning a woman’s professional expertise and upward mobility:
➡️ Damage her career
➡️ Subject her to sexual harassment
➡️ Discriminate against her based on sex
In fact, malicious rumors about an employee of 𝐚𝐧𝐲 gender getting promoted based on sexual conduct or favors is a form of sexual harassment. #ThatsHarassment #MeToo
You know what’s grossly wrong? Getting falsely accused of sleeping your way to the top, complaining about it to HR, and then getting FIRED for complaining. It’s so wrong, it’s illegal under federal civil rights law. #ThatsHarassment #MeToo
Sexual harassment is sex discrimination. Full stop. #ThatsHarassment #MeToo
This case demonstrates that #MeToo needs to shine a light on how much #CourtsMatter, and that the fight against sexual harassment requires outing whenever judges don’t apply the law correctly so that justice can prevail. #ThatsHarassment

THREAD: Earlier today, Betsy DeVos released a set of proposed rules that amount to nothing less than an attack on students who experience sexual harassment, which includes sexual assault. Let’s break it down, and then let’s take it down. #HandsOffIX
Sexual trauma is a key driver of school pushout for girls, women, & nonbinary students. DeVos should know that. Yet she’s chosen to focus on shielding perpetrators & schools from the consequences of their actions, making schools more dangerous for all. on.nwlc.org/2LKsBFi
How is she going about it? First, she’s trying to narrow the definition of sexual harassment so severely that students would have to suffer repeated and worsening harassment before anyone in their school is required to help them.

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford is getting death threats. She had to leave her house. Just for telling her truth.

@realdonaldtrump, you’re a monster.
Let’s break down the rape myths you are pushing to discredit a survivor.

First, many people don’t report their assaults. Why? Look at what is happening to Dr. Blasey Ford DECADES after this happened.
There is no “perfect” survivor. The idea that a 15 yo girl who experienced assault would have immediately reported it to the police, or even her parents, is ridiculous and insulting to the thousands of women and girls who have experienced sexual assault and the ensuing trauma.

MNPS board chair Sharon Gentry (@ReElectSharon) from last night: "Why are we so stuck on whether our handling of sexual harassment cases has been appropriate?" #MeToo 1/
This might be one reason! @MNPSDirector's administration ignored the evidence in their own files #MeToo 2/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…
Another reason? Two days later, @MNPSDirector's team bowed to pressure from school board members to do something #MeToo 3/ newschannel5.com/news/newschann…

On this, her 45th birthday, reasons Aishwarya Rai deserves your utmost respect: A Thread
1) Called out her abuser, by name, over 15 years ago when doing so was unheard of and almost certainly career-ending.
2) After SRK, arguably the most powerful man in the industry, had her removed from movies because of her abusive boyfriend's actions, she didn't forgive him until he and his wife personally apologized. She knew he was wrong, and waited until he admitted it to her face.

#MeToo allegations are coming out. Perhaps very few of of them are outright lies. Some of them are completely true. But most are selective representations of reality. It's worse than useless when a story is stripped of its context. #MeTooIndia (1/n)
Women are running amok. But even feminist female detectives who investigate rape cases think 50-90% of the allegations are false. They've studied this in different parts of the world. There's no place where at least half the allegations aren't false. #MeToo #MeTooIndia (2/n)
People refuse to believe this, but this is a consistent finding.This doesn't mean all allegations are false. Some allegations seem very real, and sexual harassment seems to have destroyed careers. #MeToo #MeTooIndia (3/n)

The #MeTooPoliSci short course today at #APSA2018 was educational, emotional, and empowering. A smattering of things I learned and practices we can all implement: (thread)
1. Title IX leaves a lot of room for interpretation & many universities have different policies regarding things like mandatory reporting. Find out if you're a mandatory reporter, and if you are, put it in your syllabus/discuss on syllabus day.
2. Find out which hospitals in your area have Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE nurses) who are specially trained to do rape kits so you have that information if a student needs it.

'Until last week, Karen Monahan’s progressive credentials had been impeccable.

But now the activist is one of two women who have accused one of the top figures on the left of physical and emotional abuse.'

Born in Iran before the Islamic Revolution, she was adopted by American parents and not only identified as an Iranian-American, but also worked with the pro-regime National Iranian American Council (NIAC).

⤵️
Keith Ellison was also a NIAC regular. He had spoken before the Iranian group and had received fundraising support from it.

The first Muslim congressman from Minnesota, with a list of Islamist and leftist connections as long as his right arm, was a natural NIAC ally.

1/ Content warning: sexual harassment and assault. The @theNASEM released a report on sexual harassment in medicine. Disturbing quotes by #womeinmedicine from the report are in this thread (17). #MeToo #MeTooSTEM #heforshe @womeninmedchat @physcianwomen bit.ly/2JzUunm
2/ Residency. "But, the thing is about residency training is everyone is having human rights violations. So, it’s just like tolerable sexual harassment." (Nontenure-track faculty) #believewomen #MeToo #MeTooSTEM #womeinmedicine #metoophd #metoomed #MedEd #sheforshe #heforshe
3/ Culture. "I still don’t think that the prospect of being sexually assaulted was as bad as watching the next generation of sexual harassers being formed. I think that was the worst part for me." (Nontenure-track faculty) #MeToo #MeTooSTEM #womeinmedicine #MedEd #heforshe
