Like *every* woman I know.
Women who've "only" been harassed, not assaulted, consider ourselves lucky. ?
When you are sexually assaulted or harassed, it is so easy to be made to feel like it was not what you experienced. It was. #MeToo

FYI, #metoo is a HUGE reason why so many marched on Washington for @womensmarch.

That should be clearer than ever tonight. Think about it.
I have typed & deleted this more times than I can count. I learned about evil before any person should. I am heartbroken at how the cycle continues & to see how many others have suffered because of it. ? #MeToo #WomenWhoRoar

When I was raped in college I had to drop out of school & move out of my apartment because one of my roommates was dating his #MeToo (1/7)

#MeToo. I have been sexually assaulted and harassed as a child and adult. I want my daughter to grow up in a safer world for women and girls. #WomenWhoRoar
