“I really hope our country doesn’t fail women again. What happens after [the hearing] is going to send a loud message to people of the United States. Please let us be on the right side of history.” [+139]

If I'm going to be real here is that I have definitely perpetrated sexual assault. I knew it was wrong but not career ending wrong. I have also been the recipient of sexual assault as well. It never occurred to me to report it. I was even raped a couple of times. I never fought it as I thought I was responsible for my own well-being. Also, no long lasting repercussions occurred as a result of it. Both times were girlfriends that forced sex on me when I couldn't resist. Of course, you can say that a girlfriend is expected to have sex with me but those times I wasn't in the state of mind to control what my penis did. It would get hard absent of consciousness and it would expel fluid whether I wanted it to do. I wouldn't be conscious if I could pull-out or control if I reached orgasm. If I was in control of my body I could decide if my penis would penetrate a vagina and if I would release inside of said vagina. I'm thankful that nothing came of it but what could I say if my exes got pregnant?

This shit happens every day to millions of people. We see violence as the line but what about the times when one thinks it's cool?
