I was groped and I'm a man

I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

As far as Trump's supporters go, I suspect that some fall in the category of groper, some in the group of privileged males who assume it's their right to celebrate their "manhood" in any way they deem, and others from a culture that has shamed victims to the point that they don't speak up. And maybe, like many women in my mom's generation, some carry deeply embedded conditioning as women that their only value is in their sex appeal to men, so they take groping as, if not complementary, reassuring to their value.

As a man you might not understand, but I've got a liberal, moderately feminist mom (she's 80ish), and I can still see those threads from her youth holding her back and coloring her life, even in her senior years.
