The New Year of the Woman

She suspected her sexual harassment claim was greeted with skepticism. Why is she was coming forward now? She would have a political agenda? She was rejected because it was a man or bitter - she was making up for some of that cheap public? And other, more powerful, dry place - - and as relevant as perhaps the most appealing and recklessly engage in unlawful behavior, and really, who can believe in such a powerful position?

Year in 1991, and he was her boss at the accuser, law professor said Hill, Clarence Thomas, she is a candidate to the Supreme Court was wildly inappropriate sexual comments and then discuss how to Prime, was testifying before the Senate male-all at the Judicial Committee (Interestingly, ) to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Thomas Supreme Court confirmation to the winner, but the hearings of treating an issue like sexual harassment and treating the victims as liars or unstable accused of politicians and candidates, served as a loud wake-up call for. Women to court the wrath of then-record numbers of women elected to the House and Senate in 1992, the "year of the woman" was changed.

After a quarter of a century, a more powerful job searching for another man has been charged with sexual harassment and abuse of power. And some other defiant disbelief and said, marveling at the great crime with greeting cases, activists and political players, is the nation's certainly evolved on the issue of sexual harassment and abuse? Or, why Hill's defenders claimed back within 90 as the political arena, some members are still "only to find it?" This is true; The Republican Party is - its fold effort has been made to bring more women and that, as candidates and voters, because select its presidential accusations against the woman prepared to go back to the voters?

"I think the party has cut?" Katie Packer, whose all-woman firm, The Glass consultant to continue, its clients are female voters to seek a Republican consultant says. "This is what the Democrats allowed Republicans and encouragement, this is only going to do everything possible is not a trumpet. This is the most unified party, it's going to take aggressive efforts" to heal relations with female voters, not to influence supporter Packer says. But downticket Republicans candidates "are now counting on the voice that [horn] because they do not have the capacity to do this."

Sexual harassment and violence in the past quarter of a century, they say that really changed the activists - is a question the candidates for their party's candidate for the GOP puts things in a more difficult position. In 1991, Hill fries as the main attack came to camp and party descend on the accusers, note, it was a combination.

"I said we Hill's accusations have come from very far away, I think on the one hand. In 1991, the name of the game, many people can be a lack of respect to Mary and to disparage her," Judith Lichtman, Senior Advisor on National Partnership says that year, Hill's trial on charges for loading was active women and families action Fund ,. Now, Lichtman says, between the public and elected officials in both the more sensational case.

But the trumpet attack on the accusers - and not all divorce cases as a necessary - some things have not changed show, she adds. "We've come too far, but so far, go to" one nation, one magazine interview a fellow passenger on a flight the following Lichtman says.Trump accusers, Hill has been met with much the same treatment, then up to 1991, Sen. Howell Heflin, D-Ala. If she's motives, asking the question on the Hill, "a woman scorned." Sen. Alan Simpson, R-Wyo., The committee on this "woman" Hill collar suit jacket flapped those warning letters were saying, but all were willing to come forward and gets tangled up in sex because of "harassment crap." And cast the victim as a point Thomas, testified Sen. asking for a lawyer Herb kohl, D-Wisc., "Is to endure suffering and was a judge on Thomas' family have any comment to make on the suffering?"

If they did today, Senate Judiciary Committee members Such comments were widely denounced really (to the panel in 1992, now Democratic Sen. Dianne waves in California elected two women, including Feinstein, not least because). But the trumpet and surrogates have taken the tack of 1991-esque. Measuring the "horrible, horrible liars," she called; It was not attractive enough to warrant interest in sex, perhaps because he was on the next plane would not have wanted them to him sat a woman. Measuring a surrogate A.J. Delgado, em on, away from media harassment and accusations and said they needed to move attention "to the American people that really matters." Former GOP presidential candidate Ben meant there were accusations against Carson, the same network, "says take the eye off the ball." A female reporter's attempt to press the issue, Carson, "stop, stop, stop, stop, stop," he said; He added, "Hey, you, you can turn off her microphone, please?"

I thought you were supposed to get from the '91 veterans of the hearings, defense trumpet drastically since they represent a way of thinking, it seems disturbingly public attack on Hill. In 1991, parts of which have been targeted as scary or violent behavior in the workplace or on the road, and First Lady Michelle Obama, who noted in a recent speech that women provoke a personal response.

"I think women across the country, [the trumpet's charges] done and malfeasance, millions of women to bring up bad memories," says Thomas Hill's accusations of harassment also an investigation by the active participation of the president of the Alliance for Justice Silver Aron. ". Women, this resonates not just sexual assault, but every single woman in the country [harassment] has encountered some kind. That feeling uneasy."

Rep. Physiotherapy Lowey, D-N.Y., Famously Hill's charges was one of a group of hearings on the Senate side of the Capitol to ask out a woman who marched to the steps of the house. While she sees progress in the way of sexual assault and harassment complaints are treated, and she really believes that the current parts so many women used to come as a reminder why you do not want.

"We've finished the trumpet's none of our actions and behavior change anything. Do not think that the majority of American Donald trumpet a reflection of me," says Lowey. But "This is a sign that it is not for women who are victims of the system among those with money still protected."

Now than in 1991, "is the cry of a broader", and "This is shameful is it that is broader," Yale Law School professor Judith Resnik, the Hill-Thomas hearings will add another veteran. "Now and positive [change between now] is that this is a national consensus inappropriate behavior in an adult workplace," She adds.

At this time, say activists and political operatives, is likely to be a large impact on the defendant. President deny him enough - Thomas was confirmed to the Supreme Court, is facing a huge blowback facilities in a comment on the trumpet.

Republican voters than among women who had led a long, unsurprising woman from the Democratic Clinton trend. But first female major party, there is evidence that due to driving on the support of her historical position of women, she's presidential candidate. Thousand-year-old women, for example, in the Democratic primary Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders approval.

The "Access Hollywood" video effects such as falling down grope women appear to use the fame of reality TV star posted a comment on the ratings among voters obscene woman in the facilities. PRRI in late September / A survey taken by The Atlantic, for instance, Clinton was 15 points ahead of the trumpet among women. A poll taken among women, Clinton audio release 33 points besting him. President Barack Obama, according to exit polls, 11 points among women GOP candidates tek’enek’enyechewi beat Romney.

The Missouri Senate candidate Todd Chapter 2012 is akin to pregnant women because of the murderers he put the same GOP, but exponentially worse position than he was when he could not find a "legitimate rape." This comment - and their own candidate's comments, while not undermining the tender to distance themselves from fellow Republicans' efforts were tortured - Missouri Republicans also injured.

Since then, Republicans have made inroads among women; Packer said. But the measure, she says, is behind them. Women "have nothing to offer as a party", "Packer says." Measure, measure, stopped dead in our tracks for us. "On November 8, only she can start after the deal.
