My first impression of the movie is this is a prime example of a society oppressed. In 2016 would any woman put up with sexual harassment in the work place? I've read accounts of complaints about things said around the water cooler. Women aren't going to put up with sexual harassment in the work place (hostile work environment).
But, in 1992, black women shut up. Anita Hill is a exceptionally bright woman who has a life of good works. I find her exceptionally believable in the movie. What occurred with Thomas when he stated "...it's the old order..." is that he protected the white man in the White House to facilitate his retirement into the Supreme Court.
Working under oppression is hard to do. His sexual fancies were his entitlement as a black man. He didn't make those flights of sexual fancies to white women because they won't put up with it. They would report him in a heart beat.
Anita Hill in her testimony had to remind the Republicans several times the reason she never filed any complaints is because she would have suffered in her chosen profession. The behavior of the Republicans proved exactly that.
Clarence Thomas wasn't lynched, she was.
There is a great deal of wrong doing under oppression. Those that live with it understand the rules all to well. All kinds of stuff happens, including corruption. Then when the wrong doing is discovered and the secrets are out, that sunlight validates the oppression and why 'those people' can't be trusted.
Clarence Thomas retired into the Supreme Court and has been primarily silent the entire time. He doesn't have to carry any burden anymore. He can enjoy his life without worrying about job performance or making people happy he primarily dislikes.
His sexual ideation sounded more like anger at the society he lived in rather than actual desires he pursued in many places even out of work. He was priming his sexual objects in the office for bed. He stated sexual things as if he was the victim of the white man and even his white spouse. Oh, did I go too far?
Clarence Thomas is a product of his society. The country deserves it. It is very unfortunate Anita Hill is not on the bench today.
