Here's the Deal...
Share
I was chatting with some fellow business owners and one of them asked me if I was scared to lose business over posting about abuse, and if I ever considered doing it anonymously instead.
Without a single speck of doubt in my mind, the answer without ever wavering will always be no, no I am not scared, not in the slightest. I will starve before I eat off the hands of abusers or people who defend and protect them. The people that support me are the people who have a seat at my table, because those people protect children. There are plenty of those people for this gal, I’ll keep surrounding myself with them.
The truth is, 98% of feedback and interaction is good. Most people are on the right side of history and agree that people shouldn’t abuse others. Here only very recently has a small group of people found my posts and become upset.
Here’s the deal, broke down as short as I can make it.
It’s not that hard to not abuse people. A really good way to not be talked, wrote or posted about as an abuser, is to not abuse women or children. You cannot be mad at people for talking about a crime when without him knowingly and continuously committing it, there wouldn’t be anything to talk about.
If you are mad that people on Facebook talk about this, keep that same energy for newspapers, reporters and TV stations. If a football player is arrested for abuse his face is plastered on ESPN. If a man runs into a bank to rob it, the whole town is talking about it. If a man causes a wreck while drunk and sends someone to the hospital, it’s everywhere on Facebook. Why do you want us to be silent about abuse? Keep in mind that the post I was just asked to take down, was the article of a 38 year old man that used school activities to groom and rape a 15 year old child. You don’t think parents deserve to know about this?
Abusers manipulate, lie, deceive and work extremely hard to convince people that they are a good person so that they can abuse in privacy, with people running to their defense. Just because you know that man in one capacity, does not mean you know him in his entirety. You know the version of him that he manufactured for you. The real him is much darker, because good people don’t abuse women and children. Keep in mind that the entire time he was grooming that child, he groomed you to like him too.
Good men don’t rape or abuse women and children.
Good men protect them.
