Due before our debate on Monday, Mar 9th: Read: 1. Men's Response to Brett Kavanaugh - Slate 2. Working with Leon Wiesltier, Editor Accused of Harassment - The Atlantic 3. When Saying Yes is Easier than Saying No - NYT 4. Harvey Weinstein Verdict is Complicated - NYT 5. One Year of #MeToo - New Yorker 6. Mixed Feelings about #MeToo - New York Times 7. Beware of Female Vigilantism - Boston Globe Complete the following blog posts referring to the readings: Blog Post One: Is “it was different back then” a strong or reasonable excuse for men who have been accused of sexual harassment taking place decades ago? If something like inappropriate touching or inappropriate comments felt commonplace and “appropriate” 30 years ago, should we condemn those who committed those acts today? Can you think of any instance or example of something that you would consider excusable because "it was different back then?" Does it matter if the behavior takes place in the workplace or in general society? Blog Post Two: How should we understand and implement the ideals of "innocent until proven guilty" and "due process" when it comes to matters of sexual assault? What compulsion or considerations do companies, institutions, or society/public opinion have regarding individuals accused of something difficult to prove or disprove? If an individual is fired for allegations of sexual harassment, should he/she/they be hired back if these allegations cannot be proven? Can someone be denied of a job or of a promotion or of a position for allegations that are near-impossible to prove? Prepare for our debate on our Speaker Series on Monday, Mar 9 Due for Tuesday 11:59 PM Turn in your "does grammar matter" video on Schoology (post it onto YouTube then submit your link).
