The creator of The Vagina Monologues, published an article this September in the Huffington Post called "The Undeniable Rape Culture Of Donald Trump."
A week later, the Access Hollywood tape came out with Donald Trump sharing his unfiltered feelings about women as sex objects--a tape that is now being adopted as a case study in sexual harassment. Eve and I spoke about her work fighting violence against women and the good and bad about what the rise of Trump means for the movement.
