Mayim Bialik: Being a Feminist in Harvey Weinstein’s World

Hi guys, 

I just wanted to share this article. It was published last October but I only came across it recently and I think that it is a very interesting read. A lot of people criticised Mayim Bialik, (who plays Amy Farrah Fowler on the Big Bang Theory, an American sitcom) for what she said but I personally agree with her. 

Hopefully, the exposure of Harvey Weinstein and the subsequent Time's Up campaign will show sexual predators that people are not going to let them get away with this abuse anymore and victims of sexual abuse and harassment will know that they can talk about their experiences, as this has not always been the case. Recently, Simone Biles spoke up and said that she had been sexually abused by the US Gymnastics Team doctor, Larry Nassar so it seems like society is slowly creeping towards the right direction, although there is still so much to do, in a world where the objectification and abuse of women is still so common.  

Anyway, you can check out the links below.
