Thank You, Connie Chung.

Why do women stay silent? Because we are shamed into silence. Because we legitimately have conversations with each other about how my experience wasn’t ”that bad” in comparison to another woman’s. Because this is the only crime that the victim has to PROVE took place. Because we live in a world where the patriarchy is so prevalent that we often believe that it is somehow our fault. Because we have been provided with lists with hundreds of points in them on how to not get raped. Because our very existence makes us a target. Because we are taught to remain small. Because no one will believe us. Because we have been gaslighted. Because we are seen as crazy and hysterical. Because the very word hysterical only exists because of the lack of understanding of women. Because. Because. Because.
