That didn't take long.

A day after the final presidential debate of the 2016 campaign, a yoga instructor and lifestyle coach appeared at a news conference to accuse Donald Trump of sexual misconduct.

Fighting back tears, 45-year-old Karena Virginia became the 10th woman to accuse the Republican presidential candidate of inappropriate behavior.

She alleged that in 1998, Trump walked up to her at the U.S. Open tennis tournament, grabbed her arm, and then touched her breast, according to NBC News.

"I was in shock. I flinched. 'Don't you know who I am? Don't you know who I am?' That's what he said to me," she told reporters at a New York news conference Thursday that was announced by women's rights attorney Gloria Allred during Trump's debate with Hillary Clinton.

1. Now up to ten victims. Pathetic that a predator can operate this way.

And sad that enablers can look the other way and excuse this behavior.

2. What's really sad is people, from law enforcement to medical personnel to

friends, family and strangers accuse and judge victims, but forget about the criminal scum that do it.

3. Agreed. The victims are seem as opportunists looking for easy lawsuit money or fame.

While the predator denies and re-victimizes by denigrating their looks and calling into question their sexual attractiveness. As if to say they are not "pretty enough" to be victims.

4. Ugh, yes. So much revictimization.

But thanks to Hilary and the innerwebz, we're already seeing images of women that differ from what we're so used to seeing.

Good! I want more of that. I think it will help re-humanize women, and get women speaking out---and men shaken up.
