HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_028442.jpg
This document, marked 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_028442', is a commentary piece from circa late September 2018 analyzing the cultural impact of the #MeToo movement in the context of the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court confirmation. It focuses on the allegations made by Deborah Ramirez, as reported in The New Yorker, arguing that women are increasingly demanding that their fragmented but deeply felt memories of trauma be taken seriously, even against staunch denials from powerful men. The author contrasts Ramirez's case with the past experiences of Anita Hill and the more recent, tragic story of Amber Wyatt to illustrate a shift in expectations about whose stories are heard and believed.
