Of 57 “men” who got the message, not one dared to help her.Not one.57 men read it. 57 men knew. And not one decided that helping her mattered more than staying comfortable, staying quiet, or staying out of it.So yes, women need to be louder for women.Believe her. Stand beside her. Defend her when people start interrogating her instead of questioning the man she says harmed her. What was she wearing? What did she drink? Why was she there? Why didn’t she leave? Why didn’t she speak sooner?Enough.When a woman finds the courage to use her voice, she should not have to look around and realize that dozens of people knew and every single one chose silence.I hope when one woman speaks, she hears a fucking army of women behind her.Because protecting women will always matter more to me than protecting the reputation of the man she says harmed her.57 men got the message.Not one helped her.Ladies, be the fucking army. 💙 #fuckthepatriarchy #cornelluniversity
