All day, I've been vacillating between sadness and rage.
A young friend recounts too many incidents in which men have wielded power against her in her life.
I grieve for my loved ones who had their power and agency taken away from them as young girls, just as they were leaving babyhood behind and beginning to feel their power in the world.
The #MeToo groundswell made me remember when a man I didn't know, a man who must have seen my name in newspaper articles about my activism, sent an explicit, threatening letter to my home address.
