And I knew I was breaking a sort of code, you know, by speaking up.

And I assumed that the only career that would be ended by that would be mine.

And I was okay with that because whatever the consequences were, I knew I could not live with the knowledge that if I didn't say something, it could continue, that it could have been continuing and that I hadn't said something.

Well, it changed a great deal.

And the entire time I worked in journalism, I believed I was one of the good guys.

I believed I was

making a positive difference in the world.

And part of what I do in the book is go back and look at how I covered stories about sexual harassment, stories about sexual assault.

And I realized that I was perpetuating these false stereotypes that I then believed.

I, in a way, was part of the system that I suffered so much from at the end.

The reason I decided to write the book was because I had this moment where I had lost pretty much everything.

I'd been outed by a tabloid.

I barely knew myself anymore.

I was drinking all the time.

I felt like I'd ruined my life.

And I was angry.

I was saying, why did I not know about this?

Why isn't the press talking about this?

Why...

Has this not been reported on when we've known for all of these years that these stereotypes are not the truth?
