20th Anniversary of Anita Hill's Testimony

This month is the 20th anniversary of Anita Hill's testimony against Clarence Thomas. Here is an interview with her:  http://feministing.com/2011/10/08/the-feministing-five-anita-hill/
This year I had to deal with the insurance company of a man who rear-ended me and I ended up taking them to civil court for money they refused to pay, despite my having the right to it. However with some loophole, the judge ruled that they did not have to pay me the money.

The process was difficult and anxiety-provoking, and I was the victim! And because it was nowhere near as challenging as it would be for a woman in Anita Hill's situation, or a victim of rape trying to speak out against her perpetrator, I have an even greater appreciation that cannot be expressed in words for women in those types of situations.

As anxiety-provoking and frustrating as my first court experience was, so was the benefit in me being forced to think of women in similar yet exponentially more difficult circumstances.
