(71,936 posts)and just about anyone else who do not look at me, a middle aged white male. After all: who's doing the overwhelmingly most of the rape, molesting, beating ... etc but people who look just like me in demographic if not in general appearance?
I make a point of keeping a respectful distance and not be overly "interested".
Its not their fault but it is the fault of men who look like me directly and indirectly by other men who look like me who joke and diminish the legitimate claims of crime and objectification by those who do not look like me.
Diversity is LONG past overdue and the establishments of our system need to accept that fact. I will give extra and more positive consideration to the "otherness" of two candidates being otherwise equal if one of them looks just like me.
Trumps group photos of his cabinet and legislators he works closely works with in his machinations only prove it more than necessary.
I give much more credence to the victims of men who look just like me then to those men who feel its their right to victimize anyone who doesn't look like them.
Bless all women, children, PoC, ethnic groups who resist being objectified and violated by men who look like me or anyone else who feels entitled to take advantage of others. Bless all the victims.
