It is the year 2023, and International Women’s Day is upon us. And white women, we need to do better.

It’s been 3 years since I got some justice for my sexual assault in college, and 8 years since I graduated from college. I want to note that when I say “my sexual assault,” what I really mean is “ONE of the many sexual assault experiences I had, but the only one I reported.”

What’s the harm in not identifying as a feminist when you do believe in gender equality?

Far too many reports of sexual misconduct go unpunished. But I’m so relieved to share that one of my many sexual assault stories is ending not in open wounds, traumatic suffering, and loose ends, but instead, it’s ending with justice — albeit delayed for far too many years.

You can’t know what it’s like to be in Dr. Ford’s position until you’re not believed about something terrible that happened to you. There’s no feeling comparable to being unbelieved about your trauma.

Men, do you identify as a feminist?

If the answer is yes, good on you. If the answer is no, I’m going to try to change your mind right now.

Friendly Men, we need to talk about your “friendliness”
