behavior of well known males.
Well known names because someone saying, hey, my immediate boss (when I was 18, 20, 24, 26, 30, 40, etc etc), Joe Schmoe used to leer at me and make highly suggestive moves on me and practice abusive sexual behavior that he felt entitled to just because I am a female, is not news. It is daily life for any female in any workplace, school, playground.
It is sad, infuriating, but not surprising and certainly not exclusive of one profession.
It is a male problem.
It is a society problem.
It is a mental problem.
It is an accountability problem.
It is a problem of generations of enabling and acceptance of gross and improper language and aggressive physical behavior of certain types, and a LOT, of men objectifying and disrespecting females...or other young vulnerable males.
In a society that has bred sexual predators in positions of power in religion and done nothing...has condoned shit for brains office environment crudeness and accepted, ignorant, base, gender abuses...in a world that excuses crap behavior from male youth because tsk tsk *boys will be boys*...expect thousands of revelations. Most of them very true.
This past political season brought home this numbingly vomitous and hideous social problem that is STILL being vilely practiced.
Until males are held accountable, challenged and refuted for it, it will continue.
It is going to be a very ugly transition with a ton of disappointments, sadness, adjustments, repercussions.
But it is well past time to create change.
