Writers Consider #MeToo Now

The Courtship of Winds each issue asks five questions of writers whose work has previously appeared in the online publication. The Winter 2019 Digital Forum invited Perle Besserman [pictured], Sandra Kohler, Denise Kline, and Jennifer Page to respond to questions to discuss how they see the #MeToo movement now – post initial profound effect, post backlash, post Kavanaugh hearings, and post Christine Blasey Ford testimony.

The writers each responded to five questions posed by the editors, including the Kavanaugh hearings, Trump’s mocking Al Franken’s stepping down, “utilitarian calculus” as addressed by Sonia Sadha, the impact of movements like this, and any inherent ‘dangers’ for men and women in our current climate of accusations and speaking up.
