A letter to Christine Blasey Ford
(10/19/18 4:00am)
To the woman who raised her hand, thank you. Thank you for standing up to a sea of male faces. Thank you for representing the college woman who is too scared to raise their hand in a lecture hall, or the female student who chooses not to raise her point of opposition during a classroom discussion. Thank you for raising your hand and speaking life into words that few have the courage to share. My stomach twisted as I heard you speak, the same way it twisted when my best friend told me she was sexually assaulted the summer after her freshman year.
