We're Tougher Than We Knew



February 27, 2019

A lawsuit says that a former Trump campaign worker continues to suffer emotional distress after Donald Trump kissed her without permission. It happened in 2016, and she is still unable to forget. “I don’t sleep,” she says.

So, to all the women who have been groped or gotten unwanted kisses and did not fall apart—and I’m estimating that that’s 97% of women in the world—Congratulations. You’re tougher than you knew. And it’s a good thing; because if every woman who was groped or kissed fell apart, the world would pretty much stop working.

So, to the lawsuit-filing woman: We should continue to hold people accountable, and make it clear that our bodies are not here for other people’s amusement; but making the situation seem ludicrous isn’t helping.
