Sharing her own #MeToo experience, 84-year-old U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told a crowd at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday that "it's about time" women speak up about sexual harassment.(snip)
She surprised the audience by speaking of her own experience with sexual harassment back when she was a student at Cornell University in the 1950s. She said her chemistry professor tried to make an inappropriate pass at her.
"Every woman of my vintage knows what sexual harassment is, although we didn't have a name for it," she said. "I'm taking a chemistry course at Cornell and my instructor said, because I was uncertain about my ability in that field, 'I'll give you a practice exam.' So he gave me a practice exam. The next day on the test, the test is the practice exam and I knew exactly what he wanted in return. And that's just one of many examples."

Ruth...don't flatter yourself. Sometimes a practice exam is just a practice exam.
You owe me a soda and a keyboard
#MeToo!
She was probably his first-ever female chem student and the Chem-Goggles were clearly working well that day.
she meant to say “Meet Ewww”
This looks, sounds, and smells like one thing: equine excrement.
Time to pull the horsesh*t alarm on these decades old stories — this one from 60+ years ago? Don’t think so; just another regressive hallucination.
Error. The article says she was a student 1950.
It should be 1850.
Buzzy is also 184 y/o.
She’s proof zombies exist.
Sounds like an argument for dumping co-ed colleges.
I suspect the professor imbibed a great deal of “chemicals”
in order to find her attractive.
It's not like the teacher even grabbed her. I think she's full of it and made the whole thing up.
The whole idea is gross.
Rumor is that Pierre Curie asked Ruth Buzzy for a threesome with his wife Marie.
I wouldn't think a blind guy would be allowed to be a chemistry prof. Handling all those corrosive, toxic, and even explosive chemicals and all.
So that explains the glowing in the dark. I was thinking it was because she was undead or something.
After the news about Sotomayor last week, I was starting to think he gets a twofer, and soon!
Oh come on! A blind man wouldn’t make a pass at RBG with his cane.
I have a “MeToo” story — there was a judge who only hired male law clerks while she was on the appellate court. When questioned about it when she was nominated for the Supreme Court, she stammered and stuttered but didn’t have a good answer as to why.
I was ready to post a comment and then saw the picture which says it all. But on the other hand, maybe the prof thought she had poor self esteem and was trying to make her feel better.
Sure, Ruth....sure.
