How do you even explain this to one’s daughter? To trust a system to keep them safe - the basic role of government. Yet here is a government flat out okaying rape culture.
He will be confirmed. This is just more media normalization and hopium that things are normal.
They did it with Brett Kavanaugh last time, and Republicans put Clarence Thomas on the bench also after trying to suppress his sexual harassment allegations, and made it a big show pretending they didn't understand.
Trump is surrounding himself with really the worst people this time around, because guess who doesn't try and pump the brakes when you're asking if you can use the US military to put down protestors, your sexual assault buddies. =(
I don't have a good answer....
Maybe tell them not to trust anyone or anything. Make connections with people and maybe trust them. Any organization with power can be corrupted. It is a harsh reality, but people blame women for being raped. I talked to people (women) I worked with about women coming out with allegations too late. Women attack other women for waiting too long before reporting being a victim.
Idk how to fix it. It's just fucked. And yes some women lie and ruin innocent men's life. It doesn't mean we should never believe women. How do we make the individual safe while teaching them to interact with people that might have bad intentions?
I wish I had an answer for you. I'm lucky enough to have dual citizenship, so I am getting my daughter out of the country while I can. I wish others were so lucky.
All good, I’m just postulating and recall your post from yesterday.
I’m Canadian with grown daughters. Unfortunately Canada will pivot hard right next election as well, but unlikely to this point of insanity. But we will still follow along like a lost Shepherd.
