20. It is an insult to men and women.

I was reading some DU posts in general on this subject and, very frustrated, tried to go to sleep. I could not. So my reply here explains why this is so serious for all of us thai i could not rest

I am over 70, in high school and college early 60s. This may sound silly. But it isnt. On a blind date to a school dance, with a group, my date, being a total idiot, did not understand pierced ears and playfully tried to pull my earring out of my ear. Hurt badly, i screamed.🤣 my friends reacted too. All over.

BUT ya know what??? They all reacted. Because i had screamed because it hurt. And when i thought about this post and all the bull in the media today, i just had to react. It is NOT normal. It should not be debated as to truth or circumstances. This is not a game, it is the Supreme Court!!!

The Me Too stories happened. It is too painful to consider telling such a lie especially since there is such pain in the evil of many insulting replies.

Thanks for your post and others like it. Just throwing in my "2 cents worth". Now i can sleep.
