For every one man whose career is derailed because of a false accusation of sexual harassment, sexual assault, or rape there are 100s (1000s?) of women whose careers are derailed because they were harassed, assaulted, or raped.

If only the punditry cared as much about the latter as the former.

Despite an unfair playing field, the CHP, the main opposition party in Turkey, achieved a remarkable victory in the municipal elections today.

The CHP won the majority of municipal elections and secured the highest share of votes across the country.

A new era begins in Turkey!
