Donald Trump has treated women like sex holes, trophies or trash. Now we're fighting back
From journalist Lindy West, reprinted in The Guardian Australia:
"The president’s disdain for women feels faintly more personal than some of his more perfunctory bigotries (though no more destructive): he has clearly spent his entire life treating us as furniture, sex holes, trophies or trash. He doesn’t just want to restrict our constitutional rights; he wants to put his hand on our genitals and squeeze. He didn’t realise we had the power to squeeze back, and that oversight will hurt him.
"Hope is thin on the ground for those of us who care not to trade democracy for white-supremacist kleptocracy, but three ideas have been keeping me upright: we are all still here, there are more of us and we are not going back. The Trumpists will attempt to drag us backwards legislatively, but socially it’s not so easy. You cannot force millions of gay and trans people back in the closet.
"You cannot make women forget what it feels like to have careers, to thrive and excel, to earn money and choose our own futures. You cannot turn us back into incubators once we have almost been the president. That doesn’t mean we can’t lose – but it does mean we won’t quit."
