Rec. #663: When the Muzzle Comes Off

What: Like other content I'm highlighting this week, "When the Muzzle Comes Off" is about the current allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. It's also about Anita Hill and Tarana Burke and Amber Wyatt, about horrors and coercion and no-win situations. 

The article is also, maybe, possibly, a little bit about hope.

Representative quote: "There may not be a legal or political outcome that is satisfying: The perpetrators may not face real repercussions. But part of what #MeToo has always been about — despite the obsessive focus on the consequences faced by men — is what happened to the women ... It’s been about the exposure of their realities."

Connections to previous Wreckage: The writer of this article is Rebecca Traister, who is the author of the forthcoming book Good and Mad (Rec. #655). Traister was also part of List #66: Public Voices to Pay Attention To.

How to get it: "When the Muzzle Comes Off," by Rebecca Traister, was published in The Cut on Monday.
