The number of examples I have seen of people being told to shut up about their lived experiences with sexual abuse in the past 24 hours on this platform is deeply disturbing.

I am calling on y’all to take a deep breath and listen to women for once. There is a time and place for tone policing and it’s never the very minute a woman speaks up.

Well that sounds sadly realistic, but honestly the 1 in 4 attempted or completed rape is miles away more shocking. I'm so out of touch with reality damn.

Hey, at least you’re listening and giving it serious thought. That’s better than some people.
