"The big story of 2017 in the US was the beginning of the end of white male dominance."
"[Trump] is the epitome of white male dominance. An unapologetic (actually braggart) groper in chief. I think it took something as horrible as the election of such an awful human being to shock the US into deciding that we could not allow this behavior any more. Courageous women such as Susan Fowler, Ellen Pao, and many others came forward and talked publicly about their struggles with behavior that we now deem unacceptable."
I thought it was Harvey Weinstein revelations that was the turning point.
