    Sick & tired of this. Men who abuse women's rights & bodies. A patriarchal culture that still supports it. Women's fear of speaking up. Punishment when they do. Eliminating millennia of misogynistic power starts with how we, as a society, raise our sons.https://tinyurl.com/sasm8c58

        Yes. His apology is not enough. It isn’t just him (and other men who behave like this - although of course they are the major element) but those around them who allow the behaviour to happen or don’t say that it isn’t okay. This isn’t pointing fingers, this is a societal thing.

        He isn't sorry. He's sorry he got caught. X

        He’s done it now and can’t go back so if getting help is not enough, what is?

        Hopefully his sons will be more successful than the street gang stabbers in london who have no father to guide them

        I’m struck by how may different strategies women have to use to safely disengage/diffuse situations where a man is assaulting them for fear of reprisals or escalating behaviour.

        Young/men are not educated adequately as society has built a culture to protect transgressions, which is spiritually lazy & destroys lives. Glad to shake off more of my learned toxicity, but always shocked at how embedded it is.
