The accounts of the two women, named by the NYT, and another account by a woman in Florida, are horrible, but not shocking. That Trump would act the way he talks is not surprising. Nor is it surprising that the women are only now coming forward.

That women do not see themselves in a position to come forward, that groping and other kinds of sexual assault are so common, and that a man acting in such a way can still be publicly successful, even have a chance at being elected to the most powerful office in the world – all of this is what feminists call rape culture.
