I’ve had the same experience. I was talking to my husband about the Trump tapes and said “I’ve had my boobs and butt grabbed but never my pussy. Oh wait, yes I have.” It’s so common that not only have most of us experienced it, but many of us have to stop and think back just to try recall all the times it’s happened!

I actually had tears in my eyes listening to a woman on MSNBC (whose name unfortunately I can’t remember) as these stories were breaking talk about Crooks’ boyfriend saying he didn’t think it was the physical intrusion that upset Crooks so much as it was the feeling of powerlessness...that she couldn’t say or do…
as the son of a father and the brother of a brother, i couldnt agree more.
I am 32. I consider myself a strong ass woman. Not a victim. NEVER a victim. But what is shocking, and humbling about this entire election is the fact that other women are speaking out about things that I have just accepted in my life as part of being a woman, and that I’ve forgotten about until now. I truly forgot…
I honestly think he never gave a second thought to any of this before now, because he never considered that there was a possibility that these women might not have liked it before now.
At this point, KellyAnne Conway is spouting gibberish herself.
A friend put this up in response to all of this, with the hashtag #BecauseImFamous.
At this point, Kellyanne Conway is telling Giuliani to go on as many news shows as possible to just spout nonsensical gibberish in an effort to kill this story.
I have to move home with my family soon (after the election), and I’m dreading it because they’re all going to vote for Trump. The ugliness I’ve heard from them, how little they care about stories like this one and try to explain it away/call any woman who speaks out against Trump a liar... it’s been making me so, so…
For real! It’s gotten to the point where reading about politics is borderline triggering. I’m not just anxious- I’m disgusted and furious and humiliated and I feel like our entire democracy has been bad-touched by Trump.
true story: I was talking to my therapist about my election-related anxiety and feeling lame for letting it get to me. He was like, “Oh, every single one of my clients has election anxiety. I went to a therapist meet up today and all of them said that they are having trouble managing their own election anxiety which…
Oh, I’m considering it. This election has dragged up some crappy stuff from the depths.
I want to give you all the stars and then hopelessly weep while metaphorically curled in the fetal position.
Oh, come on. He didn’t say anything about this girl he wouldn’t say about his own daughter.
Depressing that some corner of my mind did wonder, “Why only come forward now? Why not sooner?” And then the last few years of news articles blaming and humiliating every single victim of sexual assault all zipped by in a fast-forward montage like pages flying off the calendar and I remembered, “Oh yeah... That’s why.”
Not only objectifying women but also girls.
Hey guys, I’m starting to think that this Trump guy might not respect women.
