Follow-up Weinstein thread-

That’s great! I got my first mammo last year at age 34. It was a super-squishy diagnostic + ultrasound, because I had an expanding, bumpy painful lump and my youngest sister had breast cancer at age 25. I was terrified when I found the lump, and didn’t tell anyone for months bc my sister was just out of treatment. I…

I read that as irradiated and still nodded yes.

Sorry for the late response. I needed to breathe.

I snapped at a man the other night in the grocery store, when he couldn’t wait for me to move over for his cart and said something about a ‘tight fit’ while bumping me with his cart.

I’m sorry to be so late in responding. Honestly, it became too much and I needed to step away.

With everything that’s come out and with reading all these different women’s accounts, you feel like you’re being laid bare, because so much of it resonates? I read these and I’m angry, I shake, I cry, I feel that terror and…

I think I understand what you’re getting at, but in the end it doesn’t matter what traumas people think Ms. Mol may or may not have suffered.

I am in awe of her and all the other women who have spoken out. I feel for those who might have consented and stayed quiet- through coercion, career reasons, or both. The amount of slut-shaming has been horrifying.

He was a very good boy.

Yes.

They’re together.
