For decades, women’s stories of harassment, assault, rape and abuse have been met with the same phrase: “He said. She said.” Four words that may seem like they’re intended to balance a story have been manipulated and used to upend countless accounts of wrongdoings.

In a beautifully simple new 30-second spot, which will debut Sunday during NBC’s coverage of the Golden Globe Awards, The New York Times uses that phrase on the screen over and over to create a profound message that questions its use.
