The aftermath of sexual harassment is quiet. You learn quickly not to speak about it, not to say anything, because it makes other people uncomfortable. No one knows what to say to you, how to fix things, what might help. It makes people uneasy to know that this thing happened to you, this strange, ugly thing they don’t know how to remedy. So, to not make anyone else feel awkward, you don’t tell people, you don’t tell anyone at all. Soon, you are alone in it, you are alone with it, for years. So, the aftermath of what I went through is also lonely.
