I think I finally donated what I was wearing to Goodwill a few years ago. Floor-length 70's relatively shapeless hippie style dress. Nothing revealing. Nothing sexually suggestive.

I've been disappointed to see a whole heck of a lot of "why is she coming forward now" - but grateful for the strong response (largely by the women of DU) dishing out a heaping helping of education.

Whenever something like this happens, for a few days I can't help but make a mental list of all of the sexual assaults I've endured (at least those which rose to the level of physical contact). I'm always surprised when I think I've remembered them all, there is almost always another that pokes its head up.
