Many of the rest will choose the most misogynistic presidential candidate in modern American history. There is a depressing irony in the fact it was that Republican candidate himself who reminded everyone that there are plenty of men in power who use that power to demean, denigrate, and demoralize women.

About a month ago, just after the release of a tape in which Donald Trump boasted of sexually assaulting women, Canadian author Kelly Oxford issued a call to action with a single tweet: "Women: tweet me your first assaults. They aren't just stats. I'll go first. Old man on city bus grabs my 'pussy' and smiles at me. I'm 12."

By the end of the weekend more than 40 million people had visited Oxford's Twitter page. "Honestly, I think we've all talked about these things in private," she says. "Trump just took the conversation to a place where everyone heard it and could discuss on Twitter. There has never been anything like that before."
