For that matter, contemporary sexual assault/harassment panic and counterpanic is a damn near perfect rhyme with the early ‘90s. You young’uns might want to consider Michael Crichton’s 1994 novel (and near-immediate movie adaptation) Disclosure, or Antioch College’s attempt to impose an affirmative consent policy on students. But ultimately that all fell off the radar.

And I can’t help but wonder how much of that had to do with the Clinton impeachment and the kind of left-leaning people whose support of that stuff was in part about its potential for attacking conservative male power with things like the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings discovering, to their horror, that it could be weaponized against them too.
