“You’ve got to be courageous. Have a support system. You’ve got to lawyer up. It takes money.”— Howard Bragman, nytimes.com
“What you don't seem to understand about women in general is that we feel unsafe all the time. At class, at parties, job interviews, getting into an elevator, parking our cars, walking down the street at night... I don't need you to push me out of my comfort zone when I've never been inside one.”— Sarah Treem, Audrey, Sarah Ramos, imdb.com
“When you looked at that horrible woman last night, you said I don’t think so. I don’t think so. Whoever she is, wherever she comes from, the stories are total fiction. They’re 100 percent made up, they never happened, they never would happen. I don’t think they’d happen with very many people but the…”— Donald Trump, time.com
“As you have seen, right now I am being viciously attacked with lies and smears. It’s a phony deal. I have no idea who these women are, have no idea. I have no idea. And I think you all know I have no idea because you understand me for a lot of years, OK?”— Donald Trump, time.com
“I'm automatically attracted to beautiful women — I just start kissing them, it's like a magnet. I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything… Grab 'em by the pussy.”— Donald Trump, nbcnews.com
“Isn’t it sad that when a girl says she was sexually assaulted, our first instinct is to think she’s probably lying? Statistics and facts tell us the exact opposite. We demand ‘perfect victims’ who better not have been drinking or hanging out at a party in a short skirt or revealing dress or have eve…”— Amy Schumer, amazon.com

“Consensual sex’ is just sex. To say that implies that there is such a thing as ‘non consensual sex’, which there isn’t. That’s rape. That is what it needs to be called. There is only sex or rape. Do not teach people that rape is just another type of sex. They are two very separate events. You wouldn…”— Anonymous, facebook.com
“I don’t want my sons to grow up learning what they ‘shouldn’t’ do. I want my sons to learn the important lessons – respecting boundaries, personal responsibility, kindness, humility, compassion.”— Anonymous, thoughtcatalog.com

“…to girls everywhere, I am with you. On nights when you feel alone, I am with you. When people doubt you or dismiss you, I am with you. I fought everyday for you.

“…I want to say thank you. To everyone from the intern who made me oatmeal when I woke up at the hospital that morning, to the deputy who waited beside me, to the nurses who calmed me, to the detective who listened to me and never judged me, to my advocates who stood unwaveringly beside me, to my the…”— Anonymous, mercurynews.com
“The probation officer factored in that the defendant is youthful and has no prior convictions. In my opinion, he is old enough to know what he did was wrong. When you are eighteen in this country you can go to war. When you are nineteen, you are old enough to pay the consequences for attempting to r…”— Anonymous, mercurynews.com
“Your life is not over, you have decades of years ahead to rewrite your story. The world is huge, it is so much bigger than Palo Alto and Stanford, and you will make a space for yourself in it where you can be useful and happy.
