I have had someone grab my [redacted]. I was a teenager waiting in line at a waterpark. It was extremely violating and horrid. I do find the headlines about it triggering, especially the notion that it's all in good fun. I'm already trying to psych myself up to discuss it with my T. It's oddly difficult for me to imagine telling her about it. And as a non-American, I'm puzzled to no end by the assertion that the casual condoning of sexual assault is an offense perpetrated by "both sides." I suppose (but am not fully convinced) that one can condemn sexual violence in a non-partisan fashion. But pul-eeez people: the notion that because neither candidate is without fault, they are equally heinous (and equally engaged in this misogyny) is just an abdication of intelligence. My kindergarten teacher used to ask us to "put our thinking caps on," I enjoin you to do the same.
