A Letter from the Harvard Women’s Soccer Team
We feel hopeless because men who are supposed to be our brothers degrade us like this.
.. This document attempts to pit us against one another, as if the judgment of a few men is sufficient to determine our worth.
.. This document might have stung any other group of women you chose to target, but not us. We know as teammates that we rise to the occasion, that we are stronger together, and that we will not tolerate anything less than respect for women that we care for more than ourselves.
.. To the men of Harvard soccer and to the men of the world, we invite you to join us, because ultimately we are all members of the same team. We are human beings and we should be treated with dignity. We want your help in combatting this. We need your help in preventing this. We cannot change the past, but we are asking you to help us now and in the future.
.. “I can offer you my forgiveness, which is—and forever will be—the only part of me that you can ever claim as yours.”
