Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg praised the #MeToo movement – just a day before high court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was to face the Senate Judiciary Committee over allegations of sexual assault, The Washington Examiner is reporting.
"I am really cheered on by this #MeToo (movement)," Ginsburg told Georgetown University Law School students on Wednesday. "Every woman of my vintage has not just one story, but many stories, but we thought there was nothing you could do about it. Boys will be boys, so just find a way to get out of it."
According to Reuters, she never mentioned Kavanaugh by name and did not address the allegations leveled against him by multiple women.
But Ginsburg said the #MeToo movement has brought women together.
“So it was one complaint and then one after another the complaints mounted,” she said. “So women nowadays are not silent about bad behavior.”
