Apparently she is a survivor herself.

Edit: aaaaaaaand the libs are co-opting this of course… I’m proud of AOC for sharing her story. I wouldn’t be nearly as brave or intelligent when I was her age. critical support, as usual. AOC good today. Who knows what tomorrow holds.

This is only tangentially related but it’s extremely troubling to me that every woman I know has either been a victim of sexual violence or has at least had multiple close calls. It’s so fucking common and it’s barely ever acknowledged, let alone anything done about it.

Imagine the time I realized I was basically describing myself as “one of the lucky ones” because my brushes with sexual violence have never gone beyond threats. Yay! So lucky. I just had to stop for a minute and think about how fucked up that is.
