Minnesota Senator Al Franken’s resignation announcement is just the latest fallout from the multitude of sexual misconduct allegations leveled against powerful men in recent months. Forum talks with a panel of feminists about what this moment means for women. Does the increasing recognition of widespread harassment signal a more enlightened age, or are we veering toward a destructive backlash?

Guests:

Lauren Duca, columnist, Teen Vogue

Karen Attiah, global opinions editor, Washington Post

Kate Harding, author and editor, 'Nasty Women: Feminism, Resistance, and Revolution in Trump's America'
