More than a year before the now-infamous shitty media men list, women in Texass statehouse secretly created their own online whisper network to document sexual harassment and assault in their industry.
This spreadsheet, called the Burn Book of Bad Men, currently lists 38 men, named by an unknown number of women who contributed anonymously to the document. Its accusations run the gamut from pay discrimination to creepy comments and sexual assault.
The men in the document include campaign workers, legislative staffers, and lawmakers. Some of the allegations are recent; others stretch back 20 years.

More than one sexual assault allegation on the list involves a man on a Democratic political campaign, according to women who contributed to the spreadsheet.
