#MeToo strong after six months

Legislatures are considering bills to address sexual harassment

NEW YORK - Six months after bursting into the spotlight, the #MeToo movement has toppled scores of men from prominent positions and fueled a widespread conversation about workplace sexual harassment.

There is also ample evidence that the movement has some staying power that will make it a force six months from now and beyond as lawmakers across the US enact an array of anti-harassment legislation, corporate US roots out bad behavior in the workplace and more women feel emboldened to speak out.
