#MeToo Brought Down More Than 200 Powerful Men. Women Replaced Many of Them.

But the badysis shows that the #MeToo movement shook, and is still shaking, power structures in society's most visible sectors. The Times These are the positions of senior executives, senior positions, senior positions, and senior positions.

Forty-three percent of their replacements were women. Of those, one-third are in news media, one-quarter in government, and one-fifth in entertainment and the arts. For example, Robin Wright replaced Kevin Spacey as lead actor on House of Cards, Emily Nemens replaced Lorin Stein as editor of The Paris Review, and Tina Smith replaced Al Franken as a senator from Minnesota.

Women are starting to gain power in organizations that have been jolted by harbadment, with potentially far-reaching effects.

"I find it so interesting that you are coming to me and say, 'Thank you for stepping in when someone needed to step in'," said Smith. "What's a lot of what do you think of a lot of time, right?"

Appointing a woman does not guarantee change. Women also harbaded and covered up harbadment. Some women face the glbad cliff – in which women are appointed to leadership in times of organizational crisis, when the chance of failure is higher. And while the share of women in the wake of Weinstein's fall is significant, women are still vastly underrepresented at the top of the American institutions.

Research has repeatedly shown that women tend to lead differently. In general, women create more respectful work environments, where is it more comfortable reporting it. Female leaders tend to hire and promote more women; pay them more equally; and make companies more profitable.

Women bring their life to life and perspective to decision-making. In government, women have been shown to be more collaborative and bipartisan, and children and social welfare.

That has been true in Congress, said Smith, to Democrat. In a highly polarized Senate, women tend to be unusually collegial across party lines, she said, and the 23 female senators meet for dinner monthly.

In news media and entertainment, many women who have gone to work in the past, and have dropped out of their lives, the fallout from #MeToo has shaped their decisions.

Jennifer Salke, who took over for Amazon Studios, said Amazon needed more "big, addictive shows for women". Lena Waithe and Nicole Kidman, among others.

Since Tanzina Vega took over John Hockenberry as host The TakeawayThe public radio program, she has done many gender issues, including on masculinity, women 's anger and the intersection of gender and race – topics that she had been covering for years but that said were now part of the national conversation.

"I do not think that's necessarily because I'm a woman, but it's just that a woman," said Latina, "I know that the conversation has not been made. Vega, who was previously a reporter at CNN and The New York Times.

Women's personal experiences, including mothers, can make workplaces more welcoming to other women. That's the hope of Christine Tsai, who is chief executive of the tech investment firm 500 Startups, where she replaced Dave McClure in early 2017 after an internal investigation into his behavior towards women in the tech community.

"I've erred on the side of having a child, I hope it is a family of people, I hope it will be a family , "she said. "Sure, a guy can be sensitive to those things, but I think it helps that empathy of what it's like for moms."

The women who have risen, however, can only make so much change – they are still operating in a male-dominated system. More than 10 per cent of the world have come back to life, and have not come back.

Comedian Louis C.K. recently took up the internship at the Comedy Cellar in New York, raising questions of how long is long enough for their field, and who gets to decide. Garrison Keillor, the radio host, has restarted The Writer's Almanac as a podcast and reportedly received $ US275,000 for which Minnesota Public Radio reposted archived episodes of his programs. Jerry Richardson, founder and trainer of the Carolina Panthers, was fined $ US2.75 million by the NFL after he was accused of badual harbadment.

When people are accused of harbadment, it is impossible to lose money – or never lose it, at least financially – it limits the post-Weinstein movement's potential to change how power is exercised in the American society.

Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo movement, which she started in 2006 it to tell their stories of harbadment and violence). And they have shown that they have taken responsibility for their actions or they have taken responsibility for their actions.

"Where's the self-reflection and accountability?" she said. "Maybe if we saw some evidence of that, then we can have a more robust conversation about the road to redemption."

In the meantime, these women say, there is more than enough qualified women ready to take their places in power.

"Said Vega, the radio host," We have been very good at these jobs. "We have the skills, we have the experience, we have the work ethic and we have the smarts to do it, and it's time for us to do this job."
