But the indignity these women suffered doesn't compare, in my mind, with losing one's job or home because of one's race. I think we live in a topsy turvy world. Sex has to be involved to create the kind of reaction that will change things.

Whether one considers an assault on their personhood and actual body to be "worse" than an economic loss, is an imponderable.
