Times have changed since Elizabeth Warren was a teacher, but workplace discrimination continues.
unearthing of documents, I highly doubt that the members of the Riverdale school board, in 1971, would publicly announce at one of their meetings that they’d pushed Warren out for being pregnant, note “pregnancy discrimination” in the official minutes, bang their gavel, and proceed to coffee talk. That’s not how pregnancy discrimination works—not now, and definitely not 48 years ago.
Times have changed since then, but workplace discrimination continues. It doesn’t surprise me, per Day’s tweet, that Warren’s story about how her first teaching job really ended might change, too, between 2007 and 2019. The obvious context is that theemerged, creating space for women to come forward with credible allegations of sexual abuse and workplace harassment, and actually be believed.
Or perhaps the senator just had the benefit of time and perspective to see her story more clearly in hindsight. When women get older, wiser, and more confident, they may also be less prone to downplaying the ways they’ve been wronged and more willing to call out injustice. If you think Warren’s lying, ask any woman who has ever been in the workplace if it took years before they could finally see that their “handsy” colleagues were actually sexually harassing them.
