Triggers Aplenty

So I survived the #me2 and Time's Up movement when it first got going. It was hard, but I made it through with a modicum of tears. This latest Dr Ford and Kavanaugh shit is leaving me pretty fucked up. I am just sad. I know what it means to not report. I've seen the effects of reporting. Hell I wrote the letters of response in some cases..." we see no clear evidence...." When it is he said/she said someone's career is more important than honesty or justice. I watched Anita Hill get before the nation and talk about the humiliating sexual bullshit she endured and nothing happened other than she became a household name. I never want to be a household name. Every instance of BS at this campus, I have seen the women who spoke up have to leave. I have seen the women who kept silent, endure. That's the way of our world. Speaking up too often outweighs the trauma of the initial incident. Women know the meaning of the term "return on investment" and "gray area"
