The Centers for Disease Control says 1 in 5 American women have been raped and that other forms of unwanted sexual contact and harassment are prevalent for women and also for men as well.

From The Centers for Disease Control----

In the United States, an estimated 19.3% of women and 1.7% of men have been raped during their lifetimes; an estimated 1.6% of women reported that they were raped in the 12 months preceding the survey. The case count for men reporting rape in the preceding 12 months was too small to produce a statistically reliable prevalence estimate. An estimated 43.9% of women and 23.4% of men experienced other forms of sexual violence during their lifetimes, including being made to penetrate, sexual coercion, unwanted sexual contact, and noncontact unwanted sexual experiences. The percentages of women and men who experienced these other forms of sexual violence victimization in the 12 months preceding the survey were an estimated 5.5% and 5.1%, respectively.

There is nothing I can add to these facts, but to say that our politics and public affairs are very much removed from the real day-to-day concerns of the people. 

Americans are simply going to have to decide that they want something else and something better.
