I am a very angry 75 year old woman. Now that Dr. Ford has spoken out, she will be the one to pay; not just because of her testimony but because of the outrageous attack upon her from the person noted to be the President of the United States. She may pay far more from the backlash than from the original sexual assault. I'm not sure I know a womman who has not faced some kind of sexual "assault" (yes, it is difficult for me to use that word) at some point in her life. I could immediately name four of my own; an uncle, a friend's father, a date and a priest at a professional meeting. I'm sure anyone reading this has her own list. If we thought "Me Too" was a new beginning, I fear that just with all the other rights I spent so much of my adult life fighting for and am now losing, we will lose this battle too. If someone has the answer, please write in.
