  • Description: [...]we are challenged to identify the blind spots in our personal lives, and second we are challenged to do the great small things in order rectify the damage that our blind spots have done to ourselves and to others. Because this is part of our Juniata DNA, we have little choice but to address these blind spots and spend our lives chasing our best selves by doing great small things. [...]any girl or woman with whom we may come into contact is at risk of being hurt by crashing into our blind spots. According to a recent story in the Philadelphia Inquirer, Representative Toohil obtained an order of protection against Representative Miccarelli because he kicked her, pinched her, and pinned her by the neck to a wall in the State Capitol.1 Over a span of forty years, eight women have accused Dr. Inder Verma, a prominent geneticist and cancer scientist at the Salk Institute, of grabbing their breasts, pinching their buttocks, forcibly kissing and propositioning them, and repeatedly commenting on their physical attributes in professional settings.2 In the past year alone, more than 211 celebrities, politicians, CEOs, and others have been accused of sexual misconduct. Guys, our blind spot about women is so large that even in the year 2017, many of us found nothing odd or troubling about the Senate majority leader's decision to create a working group comprised of thirteen men, but no women, to focus on health care and revisions to the Affordable Care Act.
