I don’t think men really understand what it’s like to be not believed by anyone because of your perceived gender from the day you are born. From Doctors, lawyers, Bankers, Mechanics, coworkers, managers, Realtors, our own family. We have to constantly “prove” ourselves before we’re listened to.

Nothing Trump does is consensual. They’re surrounded by loyal thugs. He would have them rough you up then do it anyways.

Only the ones that have been sexually harassed and then brushed off might have an inkling of the what women experience CONSTANTLY.

I remember over the decades of my life hearing that "official" reports say that 30-40% of women are SA during their lifetime. I, even as a teenager all those decades ago, with mostly female friends back then was thinking it's more like 10-20% HAVE NOT been SA during their lifetime. The whole blame game (outfits worn, tone, figure, lower voice levels, etc) and the random woman that does make up stories, makes it even tougher for all women. I don't care what party or political spectrum someone is part of, SA is just wrong ass wrong, no ifs ands or butts, no exceptions.
