Episode notes
She Didn't Voluntarily Step Into The Spotlight
- Anita Hill didn't "come forward" voluntarily; she was interviewed during Clarence Thomas's FBI background check after eight years of silence.
- That nuance undermines smear narratives that claim she sought attention or gain.
Harassment vs. "Just Flirting"
- Hill's allegations described repeated workplace comments and sexualized talk that created a hostile environment, not an SVU-level assault.
- The divide in public reaction reflected gendered differences in perceiving flirting versus harassment.

- Angela Wright was flown to Washington, subpoenaed, and then left waiting in an office and never called to testify.
- Democrats withheld her testimony partly to avoid a public Republican smear campaign.
