All those kids thrown in jail for selling pot, and here are these rich b*stards doing REAL harm and paying to keep themselves out of it. When I read things like that I wish I had super powers....guess I don't have to go into detail how I would use them.

You have covered this well. It’s been a terrible version of a disease which we need to arrest.

We have a long way to go to heal the cancer of rape culture, endemic in the world, in every culture but a few 'primitive' ones that believe male and female are equal, each with its own power and role in the whole community. The Iroquois, I believe, respected women as decision-makers for the community, for example.

Possibly the more victims speak about it ,the harder it will be to commit this crime.

That subject has always been in my life because even 80 years ago and more it was no better than it is now.  It was everywhere, even in our extended family.  As a family with six girls, my parents continually worried.  As the mother of four boys I thought I would not have to worry about stuff like that but three of the four had attempts made upon them.  It is a harsh world.

Sexual assault of women is a major problem in our country. It's great we're talking about it. Hopefully, now, the true work will begin to stop it.
