In a world where cops murder young black men in cold blood and get away with it

In a world where a 14 year-old child is made to strip down to her underwear for a 30 year-old pervert and he can get away with it

In a world were some rich asshole can grab a woman's genitals and get away with it

In a world where men in power from Hollywood to Washington D.C. can collect sexual gratification like salt and pepper shakers and even commit rape and get away with it

In THAT world we are supposed to care so much about a man putting his hand on someone's butt that we would end their career?

Some people have no idea what REAL oppression is.
