Well, Ted, I’m not surprised.

And it bums me out that you decided to employ the “ignore-her” strategy to my first letter. Candidly, I was hoping you’d see my invitation to have an open talk (you and me about what happened a decade ago) as an opportunity for some soul-searching and self-reflection.

Ten years is a long time, and people can and do change. People can and do talk about what went wrong so that it never happens again.

Sadly, I’m left to believe that you are not interested in any of that.

And I use the word ‘“sadly” because I thought, maybe, as a father to two young women, you’d want to discuss it so that you could say something along the lines of “I could’ve done better back then, but I can’t change the past. However, I don’t want my daughters to live in a place where they are not considered worth listening to.”

This is the sentiment that’s expressed by the “ignore-her” strategy that you—among others—have chosen to employ.

Not worth it.

Well, about that we disagree.

Women are tired, and we want better for our daughters.

I’m moving forward without you, Ted.

No cowards allowed,

Jenna
