She is not owed forgiveness. We are not all Christian. Quit asking everybody to practice it.

You're not legally called upon to forgive. But carrying anger doesn't hurt the other person at all. It hurts you. Your pissed-ness is not going to affect her status or her job a single millimeter. If it makes you happy, have at it. I've never met the person yet who this works for

Happiness isn’t the point. Justice is. Again, stop the Christian crap.

As a lifelong Christian, I do not consider it crap, and am highly unlikely to stop it.

Stop practicing it on other people. (Christians might find this hard.)

Practicing Christianity on other people? Encouraging forgiveness is offensive to you? Your life must be exhausting.

Encourage her to apologize and then encourage forgiveness. You’re missing some steps here.

I'd advocate atonement over apology. It's very easy to express regret and remorse. It's significantly harder to actually alter a behavior or pattern of behavior.

Someone in Liz's mentions was like "Wow these cancel culture people really think the point of an apology is to give you the gift of publicly humiliating them and letting you make them feel bad huh" And I'm like YES At the very bare minimum, it HAS TO BE

It's up to them whether they exercise that right, but a true apology by nature is a SURRENDER OF POWER from the perpetrator to the victim It is allowing them to judge you, allowing them to make you feel bad, allowing them to make you look bad

Which is why it's extremely rare, because nobody actually likes to do that But that's the only thing that makes it have any value You yourself vulnerable to harm, you throw the ball in the other person's court "It's entirely up to you now what happens to me"

A lot of these choads define an apology as something entirely self-contained, that you do for yourself with yourself by yourself Masturbation "I've thought about it, and I decided what I did was wrong, so I'm gonna change" Why the fuck should anyone care

It’s about as useful as when they tell everyone -except the person they wronged- how bad they feel: they get all the pity party and praise for awareness and reflection without actually giving up power or pride But that’s a different discussion maybe
