Thank you, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford

Dear Dr. Blasey Ford,

         On behalf of all women who have endured sexual harassment, unwanted sexual advances, sexual degradation, and sexual victimization, we applaud your courage to testify against your abuser. It may have been decades ago, but as you have so truthfully revealed, sexual violation in any form encodes memories that cannot be easily erased or dismissed. Your powerful testimony, while standing up to an all male Senate committee, proves we may be outnumbered but we will not be silenced. By confronting your politically entitled abuser, you have empowered women who have endured sexual exploitation to bravely come forward and name their predators. Thank you for your fearlessness in the face of adversity. You are an inspiration.
