Tolentino wrote in her article about the imbalance of power between men and women, and how the movement meant to bring attention to sexual victims has been twisted and received by powerful men. She uses Brett Kavanaugh as an example, highlighting his emotional outburst in contrast with Dr. Ford’s measured speech, even under questioning.
The author uses her rhetoric to bring to light the imbalance of power between men and women. She presents Kavanaugh’s outburst as an emotional reaction to him understanding that the institutional power of men is being threatened.
The author’s article brings attention to this issue, and this will hopefully set relations on a more equal path. Tolentino is fighting for a society where no one is afraid to speak out and all are held accountable for their actions.
