Stand Up

For those with moral ethics irrespective of political alliance, we knew the behavior would set bad precedent. Allowing others to conduct in a similar way that's not appropriate. For anyone. If someone can win the election after a recording of, "I grab them by the pussy," then why does the governor of NY have to step down for allegations of misconduct without conviction? Remember, it's locker room talk. Get used to it. The stark reality is that if we eliminate all men who are sexually inappropriate from public office we're probably not going to get many candidates. I'm wonder why women, as many as who can, don't change their stance. Be brave, stand up. When a man acts inappropriately, correct him politely. If it persists, file a formal complaint. If you lose your job, file a case. You may not win, but when it happens to the next person, and they stand up, then there is a pattern. We wait until there are dozens, cowering in fear and shame, until one lone brave soldier stands up. For those that hurl false accusations shame on you. You aid and abed these predators and are just as toxic as they are. I realize that these predators don't approach some like me, who does stand up. Like a wolf they seek out and prey on the weak. We must band together and support each other in standing up.
