Today is a really hard day for many of us. Thank you for expressing your solidarity and feeling comfortable to voice your outrage here. Thank you also to the many people who messaged me privately, whether it be because you felt uncomfortable sharing your feelings publicly, or because you were sharing personal longheld secrets. I can’t tell you how many messages I read yesterday that touched me deeply. Many of those messages thanked me for posting even when I knew I would lose followers. So, I wanted to tell you that for the first time yesterday, I posted something political and actually gained followers instead of losing them. I know that is a small thing, but to me it is indicative of a growing outrage amongst women. Not just our anger deepening but in the number of women motivated to act. There is strength in numbers. I also want to talk about the concern I hear from the mothers of boys. I grew up in an all female house. It was just my mother, my sister and myself. I have two daughters. I admittedly do not have any experience with brothers or raising boys. I will also admit that I spent a lot of time yesterday feeling very angry about all the old white men on the judiciary committee literally looking down on a woman as she painfully recounted her sexual trauma. It felt like the epitome of male entitlement and privilege. And then today I listened to Senator Patrick Leahy deliver his closing remarks to the committee. He is a 78-year-old white male who talked passionately and compassionately, with the same rage that we are all feeling. His words and sincerity made me cry again. This is not men verses women. There are tons of upstanding men who I would gladly vote for and believe they have my girls’ best interests at heart. If the goal is to raise a generation of kind, respectful boys who understand consent, then I hope seeing grown men face consequences for past misconduct is a useful teaching moment instead of a threat. One of the reasons we are where we are today is because this kind of behavior happened in private and was rarely talked about. The girls carried their secrets, the boys didn’t face consequences and the parents never knew a thing.
