I'm going under and I can't turn round



too much pressure is sending me
and the raindrops land on me
can't you see can't you see can't you see can't you see?
I'm going under

and I can't turn round
I'm going under
I'm going down

A revolution of respect in France

From The Christian Science Monitor:

Open, honest debate about sexual violence sets a European society on a new course of equality and individual dignity.

Readers of the French newspaper Le Monde were confronted with a striking image on the front page Tuesday. It showed 100 public figures with personal stories of sexist or sexual violence implicating some of their country’s most venerated institutions – cinema, government, media, hospitals, and churches. The paper called the visual “unprecedented in our history.”

After years of halting public debate, France may be at a turning point on an issue that challenges some of its deepest social and cultural mores. Rather than unraveling French identity, however, the opening of a more honest public reckoning reveals a society striving to renew its core values of equality and individual dignity.

“We are at the beginning of a transition ... a very profound cultural change,” said President Emmanuel Macron in an interview with Elle magazine last week. “The first stage is that of the liberation of speech, after all these years of suffering and unsaid things. With this listening, grant freedom, trust and kindness to the victims. ... When systems – whether professional, religious, structural – are organized as systems of humiliation, of domination, they betray our values and sully us all.”

This looks like enlightenment in progress. I feel like Republicans are gleefully and lethally pummeling us into de-evolution.

It makes me furious and breaks my heart.
