She breaks down why it's resonating so much with women. “Women have financially, emotionally, and mentally done the work to advance ourselves, and now we’re realizing we don’t need to keep putting ourselves in situations where men embarrass us or do things that make us feel ashamed,” says Jessica Resendez, a social media editor with two children who is out of a long relationship.
