Please be supportive (in person and on social media) and aware of those you know have experienced this, and be alert to those around you who might have, but haven't said anything.

I guarantee you that you know someone in one or both these groups.

Be an ally. Step up when someone smears Ford, Sweatick or any victim for coming forward.

2. Oh, I shall step up.

My mother, among others I love, went through something almost as bad as this at 13. I'm watching very closely and I don't feel merciful.

3. by the time your gumption has been raised to actually report an incident, you are ready to take it

on. If Ford didn't have the guts to go thru all this , she would have never written that letter in the first place. As she stands up, others who have been victimize will find the same strength of character to do so to. Just like with Bill Cosby...


I don't believe Ford is one bit fearful looking at kavanuagh in the eyes or any of the GOP senators. She has dreramt of this moment for years

4. Well said.... And yes, I know more than one in this group.

And I am SURE there are others.

5. Yes, and rough for any man or woman who has concern for all children

1 in 5 of which will be sexuallu assaulted, according to statistics.

This fact, fear for the children, should traumatize everyone, in my humble, triggered #MeToo opinion.
