Donald Trump's remarks about groping women has brought back to me in living color every grope, glance, and visual undressing I endured as a young woman working in a man's world for half of what they made. I wondered why I was so immersed in this dirty scandal, when I realized, as did some of his victims that I was reliving every whistle (used to be considered flattering), every supposedly accidental touch to my breasts, and every man who never looked into my face because of them or ignored me because I was a woman, but looked instead to my men employees. Michelle Obama, talked about how this 2005 tape effected children, but I'm here to say it effected us Grandmother's and Great Grandmothers too. We worked so hard to put an end to this behavior and he passes it off as lies or Hillary did it. It wasn't lies, I deflected this behavior, in restaurants, on buses, on trains and in the workplace from the time I grew breasts at age 12 and at college from 17 - 19, Then19 until in my 30's at work. I remember saying I get enough at home from my husband, I don't need you, you wouldn't be enough! Some men thought that because I had 5 children, that I was ready game for them. We had to learn to be somewhat flip and make it a joke or we would have worse problems. I had men stalk me, from work to home scaring me half to death. Once, in fact Glenn got rid of one of them before we became involved and another after we were married. I had a boyfriend that used to have a station wagon, and drove men from San Francisco to Fort Ord. I would ride with him and then he would wait with me for the bus to take me back to SF. The guys used to make remarks to me, but never more than once because he put them in their place fast. In my youth this kind of thing was the norm. Because I had a strong belief and had learned from my grandmothers and my mother what to say and what to do and thus knew somewhat how to avoid becoming a victim. But, if the truth be known, it was pray, and being conscious of what my dad said when I left home. "Remember you bear the same name I do and I want to be able to walk down any street you did and hold my head up high". This saved me from many youthful impulses when I was a 1000 miles from home. Michelle Obama brought it home for me today in her address. It was so right on and gave us all comfort because we realized she too knew what it was to be an object instead of a person.
