    This part of her article made me cry:

    "I also decided not to write about this experience abstractly, as I had initially planned. I care deeply about my three boys, who are two, five and eight, and making them understand when they are older that a woman shouldn't be made to feel ashamed of something a man does to her without her consent. I want them to understand that every women they meet is someone's daughter, mother or sister and they need to remember that. Always. "

    @prettylizy: me too. A friend of mine works at HuffPo Canada so he is always linking the latest articles on his Facebook. It just keeps getting worse and worse

    i'm sure the women who have come forward are just the tip of the iceberg. the scariest thing to me is that he has gotten away with this behaviour for decades. and as the author of the huff po article said, it demonstrates a pretty frightening escalation over the years... thankfully he has been stopped finally.
