What #BelieveWomen means to me is that women be given the opportunity to be heard and to tell their stories, without the first reaction being “she’s lying.” Tara Reade deserves what the #metoo movement has demanded for all women; a fair inquiry, which she currently isn’t getting. What do I mean by “fair inquiry?” By this I mean that most harassment/assault claims against high powered men aren’t first taken up by a court of law, which means that journalists take up the role of investigators. They call corroborators, they ask for any sort of evidence /1
