#NotOkay: la respuesta de cientos de mujeres a los comentarios machistas de Trump

“Cuando eres famoso, te dejan hacerles de todo”. La frase la pronuncia el candidato republicano a la presidencia, Donald Trump, y la difusión del video donde el magnate dice en el 2005 sentirse atraído por las mujer “bellas”, generó una repercusión no sólo entre el arco político, sino también en las redes sociales, donde se puso sobre el tapete de la discusión el acoso y la violencia de género.

La promotora de la campaña es la escritora Kelly Oxford quien contó que a los 12 años vivió el primer caso de acoso.

#notokay thank you for sharing stories of sexual assault and to those still sharing. We don't have to carry their shame anymore.

La actriz Amber Tamblyn contó que una ex pareja suya hizo precisamente lo que comentaba Trump: la agarró por los genitales y por el pelo y se la llevó de un club "como si le perteneciese, como si fuese un trozo de basura".

En menos de 24 horas su publicación en Instagram consiguió más de 30.000 me gusta.

I need to tell you a story. With the love and support of my husband, I've decided to share it publicly. A very long time ago I ended a long emotionally and physically abusive relationship with a man I had been with for some time. One night I was at a show with a couple girlfriends in Hollywood, listening to a DJ we all loved. I knew there was a chance my ex could show up, but I felt protected with my girls around me. Without going into all the of the details, I will tell you that my ex did show up, and came up to me in the crowd. He's a big guy, taller than me. The minute he saw me, he picked me up with one hand by my hair and with his other hand, he grabbed me under my skirt by my vagina— my pussy?— and lifted me up off the floor, literally, and carried me, like something he owned, like a piece of trash, out of the club. His fingers were practically inside of me, his other hand wrapped tightly around my hair. I screamed and kicked and cried. He carried me this way, suspended by his hands, all the way across the room, pushing past people until he got to the front door. My friends ran after him, trying to stop him. We got to the front door and I thank God his brothers were also there and intervened. In the scuffle he grabbed at my clothes, trying to hold onto me, screaming at me, and inadvertently ripped off my grandmother’s necklace, which I was wearing. The rest of this night is a blur I do not remember. How I got out to the car. How I got away from him that night. I never returned for my necklace either. That part of my body, which the current Presidential Nominee of the United States Donald Trump recently described as something he’d like to grab a woman by, was bruised from my ex-boyfriend's violence for at least the next week. I had a hard time wearing jeans. I couldn’t sleep without a pillow between my legs to create space. To this day I remember that moment. I remember the shame. I am afraid my mom will read this post. I'm even more afraid that my father could ever know this story. That it would break his heart. I couldn't take that. But you understand, don't you? I needed to tell a story. Enjoy the debates tonight.

No es la primera iniciativa en redes sociales que tiene como protagonistas a mujeres contando sus historias. Meses atrás se lanzó una campaña bajo el hashtag #MiPrimerAcoso donde salieron a la luz desgarradoras historias de abuso, hostigamiento y dolor.

Según la ONU, consigna el sitio español Verne, una de cada tres mujeres es víctima de violencia física o sexual, y la mayoría de ellas lo son a mano de alguien cercano.
