Great that you were "only" sexual harassment Ms Wente. But you actually are presuming and generalizing here. Your friends may not have divulged what wasn't "relatively harmless" if it had occurred.  Like me - I finally told those that didn't see it of my sexual assault back in college. I wasn't "especially vulnerable", I was 19, sober, in car for a spring break parade. Two young men elected to pull my bra until a strap broke and tear t-shirt until it ripped below my breasts. All because they catcalled me to flash my breasts and I refused.  I reported it, but not a priority to the cops! I found out lifelong friends had been raped. I didn't know. S0, no outrage machine hashtag for many; a chance to let go of shame and self-blame. Yes, even those of use that aren't actresses, models, athletes, law enforcement or  Catholics. #MeToo hashtag won't solve it all, but it's a start. Why don't women report? Look no further than comments minimizing harassment and hijacking topic. Many don't listen
