The culture wars raged for 30 years. What had begun in the Robert Bork hearings grew during the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill hearings and then into the Clinton era. Now they have reached their much-longed-for end in the Harvey Weinstein fiasco, which has made crystal-clear that everyone on all sides was a fraud and a liar and should never be trusted again.
Enraged at the fact that Thomas was seated on the Supreme Court, Democrats developed a mantra of female empowerment, electing en route four feminist senators, along with Bill and Hillary Clinton as the brand-new first couple. In 1992, which was billed “The Year of the Woman,” they promised a sort of a New Deal for women, with many new seats in the federal government and no unwanted attention at all.
