Sexual harassment is bigger than party politics (opinion)
Anita Hill
We know we're tired of  it  and that  it  has to stop.
Thirty years ago   Anita Hill  stepped up to the mic to put sexual harassment in the workplace on the national stage and educate us all about the challenges working women face in this regard. Hill e xcruciatingly described unwanted sexual advances that she was subject to both at the Department of Education and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)  while working under her then boss Clarence Thomas. There was no system in place for her to report her abuse  and certainly no mandatory sexual harassment training.
Similar to today   Hill 's entire fight felt fixed as Republicans rushed to shoot down her claims and cast them as nothing more than part of a liberal backlash against Republicans who wanted to nominate Thomas as the first black conservative Supreme Court nominee. Liberals and feminists lined up behind Hill  a well-heeled  educated  fearless black professor who played well on TV. This conveniently made it easier to ignore the racism that shadowed the hearings  or the feminist agenda itself.
It is our right and we intend to claim  it  even if  it  means kicking ass and naming names  one by one.
