What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About #MeToo

[Note: Friends of Justice is a personal blog. I speak only for myself.]

“Whether formulated for political organizing (the right’s ‘Save Our Children’), or inflated/concocted from real claims (the priest scandal), or entirely concocted (the day-care frenzy), or fueled by exaggerated statistics and unstable definitions (the college ‘hunting ground’), these panics have shared features. Sex figures as a preternatural danger, emotion swamps reason, monsters abound, and protection demands any sacrifice.”

    Bob, how can I find out about Elsie Oscarsson Are there any plans for a new trial for her. I am concerned about the length of time she has been in prison. Her sentence is so unfair even if she was guilty, which she is not and her life is just draining away inside Framingham. I hope you or someone can help her. Thanks Gloria
