Also, for years and years women were told to shut up and turn the other way. That even if they say something they won't be taken seriously because well they are a mere female and doubly so if the guy was powerful (almost like Trump said exactly that on a certain leaked tape!) That clearly still continues today. And it's beyond sad.
If anyone wanted proof that rape culture exists and is an issue this past week has given more than enough evidence. Top that up with the ridiculous things judges have said the past 12 months and things GOP leaders said last election cycle....
This could get fun if he manages to continue to turn the female vote more and more against him AND motivates that demographic to vote even more than they are normally vote (women vote more and make up more than 50% of the electorate). He could turn Texas blue! Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants for the GOP.
