First Sunday Zoom Hang: #MeToo in Winter
Join Nancy and Sarah and the gang TONIGHT as we cover recent controversies, share ideas/thoughts/opinions, "show our cats" (whatever that means), and ask the question: How's that reckoning going?
Time’s Person of the Year for 2017 was a collective of women, known as “The Silence Breakers.” In the medley of faces we see Alyssa Milano, Megan Kelly, Ashley Judd, and top and center, Rose McGowan. The story came in the wake of two Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvey Weinstein exposes — first in the New York Times, and then in the New Yorker — which came on the heels of Bill Cosby. Over the next years, the media was almost contractually obligated to use words like “reckoning,” “cultural shift,” and “necessary changes” to describe the flashpoint.
It’s been nearly eight years since that Time cover. How’s our reckoning going? Since Nancy and Sarah have discussed a few #MeToo cases recently, we thought it would be fun/interesting to take that conversation to our listeners on this month’s Zoom hang. What went right? What went awry? Hopes/dreams/fears?
We hope you can join us. These are fun! They last about 70-90 minutes, nobody has to speak if they don’t want to, and it’s casual. As always, dogs are welcome, and someone once showed their iguana (I think?), but we happen to have a lot of members (and one co-host) with a cat, so the felines - and the occasional human baby! - kinda take charge at the end of these calls.
TIME: 5pm PT / 8pm ET
