“I was definitely not the only one”.
Wendy Murphy, a women’s rights attorney, said that many victims of harassment have legitimate reasons to fear retaliation after reporting an incident. Over the past year I’ve asked Lisa Bloom [Civil Rights Attorney] to tutor me and she’s put together a team of people. “I hope we are now seeing the beginning of the end of these abuses”, wrote actor Mark Ruffalo in a tweet.
