    This is ugly. It takes tremendous courage for these women to come forward. A truly terrifying account of sexual assault.https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/writer-jenny-lumet-russell-simmons-sexually-violated-me-guest-column-1062934 …

        Shaun, sadly, for my generation (Gen X), *this* is normal. I don't have one female friend that hasn't negotiated over her body w/ the fear of violence hanging in the background. But, it is the Millennials who've stepped up to support us, both men & women, to change the culture.

        And I thank them. They stepped up in such a dramatic way! My heart is filled with hope for the future. As much as other generations complain about Millennials, they seem to be the only adults in the room, at this point, for many topics. Their time is now & they know THEIR truth.

        Powerful. Women assess these situations & the men involved and respond in ways they think will inflict the least physical harm and get them out of the situation alive & as quickly as possible. I learned this first-hand at 14.

        Wow. He reduces this to “insensitivity” in a “relationship.” Relationships imply reciprocation. Consent. Mutual respect and dignity. I saw none of those things in her account.

        I bet there are thousands of women who read this account and said to themselves, "OMG, me fucking too". We are trained to blame ourselves and not claim rape when so many situations happen this way. 😢

        Lumet is Hollywood royalty, and the licentiousness that allowed Simmons to rape her just demonstrates just how brazen entitled men feel. This is terrible on so many levels.

        Please explain this to me. I read this whole thing. At no time does she seem to protest. Yes she was afraid but how would Simmons know that? Can’t read her mind. I’m just trying to understand...
