I was a Ph.D. student at a very reputable university, I was a Harvard research associate at one of the world's premier leadership institutions.

I'm not in love with David Petraeus. But I think he does present a terrific role model.

We have to raise our young boys to respect women and our young girls to demand respect and to get their values from something other than their physicality.

I've moved on with my life and I'm trying to find a path to re-establish my career.

When I get this kind of support, I feel validated in my decision to stand up for myself.
