I watched Michelle Obama's New Hampshire speech in full. Very reasoned, very articulate, very powerful.
I did too, and I agree. It was extremely powerful. When she described the discomfort women feel when men make rude comments, stare, move in too close I thought about how widespread that effect has become.
I can think of more than a few instances when I have been on an elevator, for example, with a woman I didn't know. Sometimes you can sense the tension yourself and you just know the woman is made uncomfortable, perhaps even frightened, simply by being alone with a strange man. What a dreadful commentary on our times.
