I wrote about my assault today, and I realized in doing so and reading your piece that we, as women, are set up to believe that because we are in a room with a man, it’s not assault. That we ‘asked for it’ or ‘wanted it.’ Whatever it is. When we clearly didn’t or don’t. I’m sorry that you’ve have to explore this, but just know I believe you and it wasn’t your fault. And thank you for writing about it. I think writing it down, it loses some of the stranglehold it had on your heart. Not enough, but it can be a start. Love you, friend.
Dearest Kate. You are putting into words something more people are reckoning with right now. Your bravery is being planted and will grow into something that will protect and pollinate others. 💌
