      .@JoyceCarolOates Because I'd never done sex work, I didn't understand the proposition. He took my confusion to escalate his demand.

      My presence as a young Latina girl on Park Ave in a cheap dress was a threat to "affluence." The same affluence @JoyceCarolOates defends.

          The racialized ways in which women of color are harassed are made invisible by people like @JoyceCarolOates and by orgs like @iHollaback.
