Keeping Track of Fallen Men

We need a timeline to follow all the steps that have led to women saying NO to sexual harassment.

Thank you to Meredith Blake for her comprehensive report leading back to Anita Hill's revelations about her ex-boss, Clarence Hill.  It's titled "Despite outrage, we've been here before."

The headline on the jump to p. A10 is "Fissures appear in a culture of silence."

Thank you to the LA Times for featuring this report on the front page of today's print edition.  Of course, finding it online is difficult--the headline is changed to "Everyone is outraged over sexual harassment, but will this moment bring real change?" without Meredith's byline, and it's stored in the category of Television.

Anyway, the history begins with the film "Nine to Five" in 1980, soon followed by Anita Hill speaking out about Clarence Thomas--to no avail.  

The LA Times also provides an online slide show of 27 accused abusers as of Oct. 18:
