As a father of three girls, the husband of a loving wife, and the son of a wonderful mother, it became clear to me this weekend that I can no longer support Donald Trump. While his past behaviour has often worried me, I felt he was still our best bet to bring conservative values back to Washington. However, I can no longer stay silent after seeing footage of his lewd, abhorrent comments about sexually assaulting women. Because as I've previously established, women are a thing that I have several of.

It's easy to imagine a random, abstract woman – brown or black hair maybe, dress shaped like a triangle, probably her name is Katie or Jennifer – and not feel personal outrage at the idea of her being assaulted by a wealthy goblin. "Who is that, so what," I get it, I do. But consider this: Have you ever liked a girl, or been related to a girl or something? Well guess what? That girl… was also a woman. A little scarier now, isn't it?

Women are our daughters, our mothers, our sisters, our wives, most of our flight attendants, and when we were kids a bunch of them were our teachers. If you order something at a drive-thru and then you go around to the window, a lot of the time that's a woman. Women birth our children, read some of our news, voice our companies' automated call direction systems. Jessica Jones did a great job of tiding us over until season 2 of Daredevil came out. It's time to give women our empathy, trust and support, because frankly, I know some of them that I think have earned it.

I shake with rage imagining Donald Trump leaning in for an unwanted kiss – his chin raised cartoonishly high like a small monkey trying to sneak onto a ride, slug-like lip appendages evolving out of his face, his mouth definitely making a sound like "euuuueueeeuuhh" – and forcing himself on someone's daughter, wife, or sister. Groping her genitals, genitals that someone had fathered, married, or brothered.

I imagine that terrible experience happening to a woman – not just any woman, but one somehow personally connected to me – and what it would be like for me to have to hear about it, and possibly have to do things about it. And I say NO MORE.

Donald Trump can go after Muslims, refugees, Mexicans, Black people, Black people who have been scientifically exonerated of a crime, the disabled, prisoners of war, veterans' families, protesters, reporters, judges, babies, and women who don't remind me of people I know. But once you come for women who remind me of people I know, THE GLOVES COME OFF. Sorry Mr. Trump, but you've been cruisin' for a vague and politically expedient distancing from. And I am JUST the father, husband, brother, and son to give it to you.
