... I drew a blank when I saw women supporting a President that sexually assaulted, sexually harrassed, a woman and young women then bragged about it. I drew another blank when I saw women supporting a man that sexually assaulted young women trying to do their profession. And then another blank, when I saw women again, supporting a man who had sexually assaulted and harassed young girls. I drew this blank because there was/is a backlash of women not supporting the victims but the predators.
There came this wonder about what is going on here that I have no answer to. I still have no answer.
What it has boiled down to for me, in terms of understanding THESE PARTICULAR Women, can be summed up in two questions. In these questions, if these women may be so bold as to look upon and think about, maybe they will find what they missed, or what is missing in them.
First Question:
Do You Know What You Are?
Do you know you are female? Don't you know what that has meant to men in your own past, my past, our past? Women have been treated like things used for sex. Things used to take care of the house or take care of a man. Things to make children and take care of them. Women have been handed crumbs at work and neglect. Women have been looked upon as inferior and not intelligent or strong. And as time has passed, women have been degraded to sex and sexual acts in order to make money or live their dream. Women have been murdered for their voice. When have been humiliated with sexual assault because they chose to stand and be strong. Women have been terrorized and abandoned because they won't let someone control their every move. Women have been used as trophies and maids in their own houses.
Females do not have it easy nor did we ever have it easy. So, why make it so hard for us to have something as easy to get as respect? Why make it harder for us to lead and handle things as we do anyways? Like the former First Lady mentioned, why make it so hard for us to have a voice?
Second Question:
Do You Know Who You Are?
Are you that one that plays blind to the truth because a person is your friend? Maybe it's because their wife is your friend. Maybe it's because you heard rumors, see girls and women wearing clothes you feel are provocative, or see them behaving in a way that you think is suggestive, and you support the ideal that this justifies abuse, harassment, or sexual misconduct. Are you a coward? Are you greedy and want a hand-out for the support you give? Are you just hateful because of a lack of confidence, or is it that you're just plain stupid. Maybe you live in a bubble where the only thing that exists is what you believe. Maybe you don't ever want to come out of that bubble but you want your voice to be heard and to silence all the rest. Maybe you don't know what you want, because you don't know who you are or what you are.
Well, I suggest you go back into your bubble and leave the world's decisions to the ones that care to listen, be understanding, an unafraid to be brave.
Sexual assault, sexual misconduct, sexual harassment is a choice that is made by a person. They did something to someone else because they chose to. To see women turning their backs on another woman or young girl's claim that they were sexually assaulted is below cowardliness and just plain sad. Not that I am sad, but YOU the Women that are supporting these people blindly are sad.
No one gets to do anything they want to anyone. What can be clearer than this statement?
It doesn't matter what the woman wears.
It doesn't matter what that woman says or doesn't say.
It doesn't matter what rumors you heard about this person.
It doesn't matter what she looks like and doesn't look like.
It doesn't matter what the situation is, nobody gets to do anything they want to anyone.
You Women, that voted for Trump, that support Roy Moore and many other men in this world that have or believe they can do anything they want to a female, YOU are one of the main reasons why this country is in the hands of this current President. You are all cowards. You are all afraid to stand independently in any way. And only some of you, are just plain stupid.
