I didn't know this week would have this effect on me. Can anyone relate?

64. You're not alone, Teapot

I think Dr. Ford's riveting testimony and Judge Kavanaugh's theatrics affected the majority of women if not in the same specifics, certainly in the sense that:

We've All Been There . . .

in some sense, either experiencing or witnessing the humiliation, the abuse and the sense that we as women are not entitled to agency over our own bodies, our well-being and/or our lives. And you're so right, the experience yesterday dredged up personal memories. I recalled an incident in college that I had long ago buried, an incident of being roughed up and then subsequently humiliated every time this young man saw me on the street. Because I refused his drunken, crass attack in the backseat of a car.

Yeah, I had put that incident away and it bubbled right up yesterday.

We've all been there in some way. You are so-o-o not alone.
