Even tho Anita told her tale of woe about being sexually harrassed to a friend, BEFORE she ever worked for Clarence Thomas?

Or are the fact irrelevant to you?

Facts are never irrelevant to me. But this matter of sexual harassment also involves feelings and socialization. At the time, most women had universally been raised to be passive; and the entire understanding of sexual harassment had not even come out of the shadows. Many women suffered in silence and others received this treatment from men regularly. That was certainly my experience as a not half-bad looking young woman in publishing, which is a high-adrenaline, deadline-oriented field full of aggressive personalities. Getting hit on, often with open salaciousness, was a weekly or even a daily aggravation. It was revolting.
