E. Jean Carroll is a boss
E. Jean Carroll didn’t have to put herself through any of this
E. Jean Carroll didn’t have to put herself through any of this.
she could have, as have so many women before her, tried to forget it ever happened. she could have said nothing. she could have done her best to tamp down the memory of the day that vile pig assaulted her.
but she didn’t. she spoke out. she named his name. and she filed suit.
a brave act.
brave because speaking out cost her her job.
brave because her good name is now being dragged through the right-wing press.
brave because the gross deviant who violated her is rich and powerful. he is fueled by spite. he is obsessed with revenge. he is a destroyer of lives.
but E. Jean doesn’t care. she wants justice.
right now, in a courtroom in Manhattan, a jury is listening to the facts of the case.
let’s hope that maybe, just maybe, for once in his privileged pampered life, this despicable degenerate is held accountable for his disgusting actions.
E. Jean Carroll, thank you.
I’m currently sitting in district court in my hometown watching NOTHING happen to men who stalk, harass, assault and terrorize women.
What Trump and his misogynistic goons did to reinforce male supremacy in the U.S. is appalling and grotesque.
Only #WEAK men feel the need to control, abuse and lord over women.
As a woman who has been violated, it's never easy to overcome but knowing there are people who support you helps. A lot.
