5. But if it does not get "out there" how do we ever make things better

For those who follow us? How do we change things for the better? How can a problem be solved if we don't acknowledge it and are not allowed to talk about it as a society?

I learned problem solving as an Army Officer. They actually teach you stuff like this.

1. Step One - Identify The Problem.

If the problem is currently defined as "women are lying sl*ts and won't shut up" instead of as "rape needs to stop and we need to support victims rather than rolling our eyes at them" then how do we make things better?

That is why I don't shut up, even though there is always a price to pay for speaking out

PS. I don't mean others should speak up. Only explaining why I do what I do. I know the heavy price of speaking out and don't blame any who do not wish to pay that price.
