"The one thing that bothered me most about the recent Baltimore Banner article were the quotes from the lawyers, one of them especially. Like, they don’t want us saying things either. Everyone wants the women to keep their stories to themselves, and especially the details." This is such a great point. Great post. One of my favorites.
As an old woman, I am so distressed that this stuff still goes on. In some ways it's worse than years ago because men were taught to be "polite and respectful" toward women. Now they can just seethe and spew their ugliness. I am glad he can't get students. What mother would want to send her child to him?
Read this with a mixture of terror and wonder. Awestruck that you are able to advocate for battered women while taking absolutely necessary steps to protect yourself. Thank you for your advocacy. Hoping, praying, the peace order becomes permanent and that you take advantage of every means possible to protect yourself and your family while continuing to speak out for marginalized people
I keep you and the safety of all women subjected to this bullshit harassment in my prayers/good thoughts for their protection and peace. I am so sorry you are going through this.
You are one brave bad ass. I’m in awe of your strength and articulation. May your voice amplify those who can’t speak.
The irony of David Blumberg, of all people, referring to ANYONE as an "attention hoho."
Thank you for writing about this. You are helping so many people.

I'm sorry you have to go through this ridiculous and not unscary waste of time. Take good care of yourself, and - you got this!
