You’re most likely aware by now that a long list of
powerful men stands accused of sexual misconduct andor sexual assault.
That
alone should serve as a sobering reminder that sexual assault doesn’t just
happen in movies and TV shows: it can and does happen in real life. Worse, if
it can happen to celebrities, it can happen to you. Or your sister. Or your
mother. Or your wife.
(As
a side note, recent events confirm that sexual assault happens to men, too. For
now, however, we will focus on women, as they are still the most frequent
victims of sexual crimes.)
The
#metoo movement is also a powerful reminder of yet another scary reality: most
victims of sexual assault were attacked by people they knew.
