Anita Hill didn't open a conversation about sexual harrassment in this country?? Now, maybe I'm a little young to remember it perfectly, but I'd never heard of sexual harrassment before her, and afterwards people and businesses all over started taking sexual harrassment seriously. Policies were implemented and it became a valid complaint for women (and men) suffering from certain kinds of workplace abuse.
Nuanced or not (no need for the snarkiness in your post), it was important. South Africa could certainly benefit from such a moment. Especially since it sounds like they're so far behind the America of the early 90's when it comes to women's rights.
