On the latest OnTheIssuesPod with michelebgoodwin, we’re joined by MoiraDonegan to unpack the E. Jean Carroll verdict, and its implications for the larger case against former president Trump. Listen here:
Welcome to Fifteen Minutes of Feminism, part of our On the Issues with Michele Goodwin at Ms. Magazine platform. As you know, we report, rebel, and we tell it just like it is, and on Fifteen Minutes of Feminism we count the minutes in our own feminist terms.
The recording taped by Access Hollywood in 2005 includes audio as well as some video footage. In the candid recording, Mr. Trump boasts that when you’re a star, women let you grab them by the genitalia, and in response Mr. Bush’s apparent surprise, he asks, “Whatever you want?” And Mr. Trump assures him, “They let you do it. You can do anything.”
It is a large, kind of upscale department store and they have a location in Midtown Manhattan really just around the corner from Trump Tower, and she said that as she was leaving the store she runs into Donald Trump, they get to talking, he asked her to help shop for a friend of his, and eventually leads her to the lingerie department where he sexually assaults her in a dressing room.
Like these are not incidents that get reported to official channels. Women don’t go to cops and overwhelmingly they don’t go to HR, right? So, and when they do, also there are lower rates of arrest and conviction than for other kinds of violent crimes, right. Police don’t handle this well, broadly speaking and courts…prosecutors don’t bring these cases and juries often don’t convict for them. So, it’s a very _____ 00:11:49.
I think…I think it was a real blow to women’s citizenship and dignity and to have an official court now sanction his actions and to declare it…him responsible and to declare it wrong and to you know deliver this kind of accountability, I think it’s a first step in, you know, restoring that kind of dignity to American women.
You know, I don’t think Trump thought of it quite so clearly, but that’s clearly what he was doing, right, and I think that you’re right to tie the E. Jean Carroll case to Dobbs, to this long history of obliterating women’s rights under this sort of purview of male rule and private male prerogatives.
It was, you know, in part meant to enable the specific lawsuit, but it’s also something that I think has much broader implications for women in New York to sort of you know bring to justice things that would not have been, you know, as possible in the past both because of the political climate and because of the nature of how this kind of violence you know plays out in women’s lives.
