There is an alternate and continuing narrative, however, that needs to be addressed before we move forward. It is the narrative that pities men and the “backlash” they have had to bear since #MeToo became a household term, and perpetuates two very false ideas: First, that women are the only survivors of sexual assault. And second, that men everywhere now have to “be careful” or that they will be accused themselves. The latter is particularly problematic, as it implies that women who do come forward with accusations are not being truthful.
Introducing Gild Book Club
At Gild Collective we love reading books to educate, entertain, and make us think more deeply on the topics we care about. We also love our community of women who want to empower themselves and others in the workplace. We are so excited to combine these two passions in our new blog series: Gild Book Club!
