Things I predict will happen when I name my most significant harasser in my discipline, not necessarily in chronological order:
(Note at the outset: I’ve no plans to pursue legal or even professional consequences for him. It’s been 23 years.)

Perhaps the first time I spoke of these things, I was brave. But now, as I keep speaking of them again hoping *something* happens this time…
