“There are so many things to do, but I won’t make the excuse that I have no time anymore. Instead, I will think about what I can do with the time I have. One day is going to become tomorrow.”

“I'm the only person at the table who has not yet gone public with my story, so I've had very little practice in telling it," Chiu said. Aside from her husband, her family still knew nothing, she said.
"There are very few, I feel, Asian voices that come forward with this kind of story" she continued. "It's not because this kind of thing does not happen to Asian people, but I think certainly within the U.S. we have a whole culture around a model minority that doesn't make a fuss, that doesn't speak up, that puts their head down and works really hard and doesn't cause waves" "The whole idea of coming out and speaking about that would undoubtedly shock my friends, and shift the whole of my life, is really terrifying”

“In a way, those who felt #MeToo had not gone far enough and those who protested that it was going too far were saying some of the same things: There was a lack of process or clear enough rules.
The public did not fully agree on the precise meaning of words like harassment or assault, let alone how businesses or schools should investigate or punish them. Everyone from corporate boards to friends in bars seemed to be struggling to devise their own new guidelines, which made for fascinating conversation but also a kind of overall chaos.
It was not clear how the country would ever agree on effective new standards or resolve the ocean of outstanding complaints.
Instead, the feeling of unfairness on both sides just continued to mount.”
