I wish it could be that when women say it, we could listen. Instead it has to be a man to say it before we hear it. I haven’t listened to him, and I won’t buy his book. Instead I donated to a women’s shelter. Really, I did. The one that wasn’t there when I needed it, and wasn’t there when my mother and the women of her community needed it.
To the women of the north, the women who slipped out at night to a phone call filled with horror and sobs, and picked up a bloodied friend and hurried her somewhere safe until he “quieted down”. To the women that we (I’m speaking of the universal we) shamed, and said “what did you do you must have done something” and “shush, someone will hear you”.
WE HEAR YOU NOW.
