My latest personal slogan is COMPLACENCY IS COMPLICITY. It hurts so much to realise that those close to us are capable of doing us, and others harm. So much that we choose not to see it. But we have to realise: that enables them to do it even more. If someone close to you has raped, or emotionally / physically harmed a woman, and you do nothing to confront it: you are complicit. We can’t tolerate bullshit excuses of “well there are two sides to the story” or “she’s just being dramatic and exaggerating”, “She’s just trying to get attention” or, my favourite: “but they are nice to me…so…” so? So you do nothing? You carry on like nothing happened? That is 100% enabling them. Permitting them, allowing them - and further paralyzing their victims. You’re part of the system that has to go. If you tolerate rapists and men who harass and abuse women, in any form - I can’t respect you. I will not ‘look the other way’ or give benefit of the doubt.
