Men, have you polled the women in your life?

In my group of family and friends, there is not a single woman who has not experienced either sexual harassment, sexual assault, or rape – or some combination of those. I suspect most men would be shocked to find out how common that is.

The first time I was assaulted was when I was 12 years old. The first time. I have this hard, seething ball of rage inside of me, and it just keeps growing and growing in this political environment. I know I’m not alone.

It’s a private, sensitive subject that is unlikely to have come up in casual conversation. But if you truly care, I suspect you’ll get honest answers. Will you ask?
