Writer JoAnn Wypijewski joins us to discuss her piece in The Nation, “What We Don’t Talk About When We Talk About #MeToo.” In it, she argues that the pandemonium of rapid-fire accusations that have come to define the #MeToo era are amplifying a culture of sex panic that does little to ensure that women are safer in the workplace. This interview was shot in March, and Wypijewski article was published in February.
