Sofie Karasek and Vice President Biden share a moment at the Oscars. The public had been reckoning with sexual harm sector-by-sector — the Roman Catholic Church, the military, college campuses — and now the dots were being connected. Biden was in a position of power — the second-most-powerful person in the country, to be precise — and his presence was drawing attention to the problem of sexual harm. I didn’t allow myself to hold the complexity of this until #MeToo arrived, including — or, perhaps, especially — with regard to my interaction with Biden. Joe Biden often calls on others to have the courage to speak the truth.
