This comic strip shows how most of the American women felt during the recent U.S election.
Artist Amy Camber put her feelings in an illustration showing what many sexual assault survivors experienced during the election campaigns. It was reported that over a dozen women publicly accused Donald Trump of sexual assault.
Amy told The HuffPost, “These past weeks have shaken me to my core. Every woman I know was reeling after hearing Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women. What he said, along with his dismissal of those words as ‘locker room talk,’ reminded us every time we’ve been demeaned, treated as less-than, spoken to inappropriately, or touched without our consent.”
She continued, “It was one thing to endure this misogyny during the campaign but, now, this is our President-elect. It’s sickening. And I don’t want people to forget about what he said. In the upcoming weeks, we will be asked to suspend judgment, to wait and see what he’s ‘really like. But just as we’ve seen a rise in hate crimes and despicable acts of racism and xenophobia this past week, the damage of Trump’s campaign is already done.”
Isn’t it frightening to think that this country chose a man as the President who has always disrespected women?
