Yep. It’s a system that must be fully broken. This is the best opportunity I’ve seen in my lifetime, but it’s certainly not a given. Fight back.
If you’re a decent, non-predator man, you will also give it your all and take risks like women have always done when we speak up.

My mom, a conservative lady who had bought into right wing anti-gay stuff, realized gay people were fine because two gay dudes opened a bakery near her.
Turns out, they made good food, and were nice people!

Seriously, if you think people should pause, you really need check yourself because there should be no stops to punishing these people. You are inhuman if you want otherwise.
