The leaked tape of Donald Trump talking about grabbing women’s genitals without their consent is not going away. The first question from the debate moderators Sunday night was about the tape, and Trump reacted by saying his lewd comments about women were just ‘locker room’ talk, nothing serious.

The leaked tape of Donald Trump talking about grabbing women’s genitals without their consent is not going away. The first question from the debate moderators Sunday night was about the tape, and Trump reacted by saying his lewd comments about women were just ‘locker room’ talk, nothing serious. But thousands of women on Twitter had a different reaction. Blogger and Twitter personality Kelly Oxford asked women to share their stories of sexual assault in reaction to the Trump tape. First, she shared her own story of a man groping her genitals and smiling at her on a city bus when she was 12.
