Summary | After a recording of Donald Trumps "locker room talk" leaked, a woman took Twitter and shared a personal story of sexual harassment and urged other women to do the same. Within a few days 27 million women responded and the hashtag #notokay became the marker for the thread. All of these singular examples demonstrated that they were not singular and that Donald Trump is wrapped up in and oblivious to the fact that his "harmless" locker room talk is perpetuating rape culture.
