I agree

Yep, had everything from victim blaming “she shouldn’t have stood next to him” to her making a “big deal” about it because he was “joking”.

Yeah, you can't even do that at a strip club. You'll get thrown out.

Huh?

Are you not tracking with the tweet somehow?

To be fair to weed, it wouldn't cause that sort of thinking. Drinking beer, popping pills, and huffing spray paint, on the other hand...

Agreed. I dont understand why we concede so easily to power & position. Allow it to rule every inch of our thoughts till we lie to ourselves

Most of my family is highly authoritarian. They readily yield to power & what they see as "authority" figures. Psychologically predisposed.

Interesting. I think a lot of people yield to power because they're financially vulnerable.

Would not apply to my family. I fell far from that tree. Always a questioner, church, school, govt. Upsets family. Cats vs dogs, sheep/goats

Same here. I think others who want to question and know more get frustrated and take it out on those who actually challenge authority

The ones who yield to authority usually don't want the responsibility of independent thought because it requires effort.

That's really not always the case. There are a lot of reasons people don't fight back. Getting fired and losing your health insurance, fe.

Add that to being raised by an authoritative family that responds to a child questioning authority, with physical abuse.
