It's really not that hard to not do so. Not that there's a good time to find out someone isn't the good person that was thought, but it sucks a little extra given that this is coming out now as unions are in a very weak position and Republicans will probably try to tie unions in general to this (without even the slightest bit of irony).

And families are the hub where it primarily originates.

It needs to be rooted out as a society cancer and eliminated.

Was molested by their grandmother. How bad would that be in your mind?

It sometime that it's AOK for a man to do it.
Mostly it's men who kill but because women sometimes do, men should get a free pass. Usually the person doing the gotcha will sit back with a smug look very proud of himself.

But then I don't know much.

So, I'm not sure that I see your point.

That's the subtext to asking that question.

I think the premise that is being proposed based on differences in gender is bizarre.

Rape is rape. Period.

I had to Google news this

I stand for Delores Huerta and all women!

this doesn't surprise me at all - nope

and place where a woman who said she was abused or raped, the blame and shame was put upon her, not the perp.
Divorced women were looked down upon.
"Out-of-wedlock" children were also derided.
As nursing students, we were looked upon as easy prey - because we 'knew things'.
If you were not married by age 25, there was something wrong with you that you could not get and hold a man.

Thus, I can understand a 96 yo being hesitant to speak out and am proud of her for doing so.

It has taken a lot of work from a lot of women (and some men) speaking out to get us where we are today. But, unfortunately, there is still a lot more work to be done. It does my heart good when I hear women (and some men) shouting back!

it's why justice for the Epstein victims is SO important - while there has been improvement in this area there is still room for a LOT more

It's way past time since someone provided a strong voice for the voiceless.

Babies are raped somewhere in the world every day.

To me, it's the biggest scourge to the world today.

These perpetrators must be held accountable and spend every waking moment of their lives being afraid of punishment for these crimes against humanity, somehow. Soon. Forever.

Thanks so much for sharing this, she². I love you.

And I love Jasmine Crockett. ❤️

I'm really shocked at all of this relating to Chavez, and having to absorb it. He was a figure in my childhood and I never heard an inkling of anything like what is being uncovered. So, as I said - I am absorbing.

But make no mistake, the victims need to be supported. I sincerely hope that Ms. Huerta has been able to unburden herself in a way that she will find vindication and peace. At 96, I doubt she will actually see much justice, but she will know that she started the process, and she deserves a peace that she has not been able to have for decades.

But not shocked. That Ms. Huerta is 96 and is just now telling her truth is a societal failure, as Congresswoman Crockett puts it.

She is cool.

of renaming the street that I live on.

We all know who she's including when she talks about the "abusers".

Mahalo for this, she~

Monster is a monster is a monster.

I'm fed up to here with old-school good-ole-boy patriarchy, she. I don't know how we can call ourselves civilized humans if we can't stop the abuse that comes from the combination of money, power and a sick mind.

It is disheartening to see the old-school good-ole-boy patriarchy in charge of so many parts of our government, top down.

Worse are the women that are applauding it or just plain covering it up this misogynistic admin.
