Why now? Was it just by chance that the women spoke up all at once or was it Trump? [View all]

I think women were so shocked about how Hillary was treated and how Trump had 16 claims and still won.

That could have made women more timid since once again, no one believed or cared about the women. But then Weinstein which who perfect for the right to hate: funded Dems, was a Dem, worked in that evil Hollywood and is jewish so finally, one side was willing to believe the women and the damn broke? I think Cosby had something to do with it too. Took me awhile to believe the women but I admit I wasn't paying as much attention to it. I am hot and cold about Cosby.

It is an interesting phenom but I have a lot of anxiety about it. I think the charges against Franken are right wing BS so there is the danger that we might slip back into not believing women. (Duke). And I'm concerned about who will be destroyed by this. I suppose I shouldn't care if they were harassing but I have so few heroes left, don't take them all.

We are living in interesting times, as the old curse says.
