As women in Congress,Lodam Bhabhi (2024) S02 Part 1 Hindi Web Series Senators Elizabeth Warren, Claire McCaskill, Mazie Hirono, and Heidi Heitkamp present strong, reasonable, and resilient personas to their largely male colleagues in Congress.
Which is part of what makes a new video from Meet the Press, in which the four lion-like Senators candidly share their own chilling #MeToo stories of sexual harassment in the workplace, so heartbreaking, and powerful: It doesn't matter who you are or what industry you're in, sexual harassment is everywhere.
NBC released the video on Sunday, after reportedly asking all 21 female members of Congress to share their #MeToo stories. The four Senators featured comprise the total respondents.

The video comes in the wake of the revelations about Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse of female actresses and colleagues. After more and more women began to come forward about their "Harvey stories," actress Alyssa Milano shared a way for women to showcase the extent of the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace. She asked women who had experienced harassment to post #MeToo on social media. The hashtag was used over 100,000 times in just a single day.

The Senators' stories are chilling. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said that as a young law professor, a senior faculty member asked her to stop by his office one day. When she entered, he immediately lunged for her, and chased her around his desk. After unsuccessfully pleading with him to stop, Warren managed to jump for the door and get out. But afterwards, she we went to her office and sat and shook, and wondered what she had done to bring the assault on.
The only person Warren told was her best friend. But, "for a long time," said Warren. "I wore a lot of brown."
After sharing her own story, Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) took a moment to remind victims that they should not doubt their emotions, or acquiesce because of the possibility that they feel somehow responsible.
"You don't have to have perfect judgement to be a victim of a crime," said Sen. McCaskill.
"If you feel diminished," added Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), "that probably was the intent. So don't think you're overreacting."

When asked about how we can take positive steps to stop sexual abuse in the workplace, Sen. Heitkamp said "we have to stick together but it can't just be a movement of women. It has to be a cultural movement."
With #MeToo sweeping social media, and stories pouring in from industries including entertainment, sports, politics, journalism, and more, it seems like just such a cultural movement is underway.
