Almost exactly a year after revelations about movie mogul Harvey Weinstein kick-started the #MeToo movement, another hashtag is taking off: #WhyIDidntReport. This one refers to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's allegation that District of Columbia Circuit Court Judge Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when they were teenagers, some 35 years ago.
The vast majority of people who experience rape, sexual assault, or sexual harassment—which are all illegal, for the record—don't make an official complaint. Blasey Ford didn't either, until Kavanaugh was nominated for a seat on the United States Supreme Court.
