Will 2017 be remembered for the empowered women coming out of the shadows of abuse?

Doing absolutely nothing is apathy and apathy is not why we are here.

If it is, then I will resign, plain and simple.

If everyone cared, what could we do?

Nobody seems to care now and you see where it has gotten us.

Dialogue. It all starts with ideas. And it has to start somewhere at sometime.

Change does not come from our elected officials. Change comes about when we look into the mirror and say, this is not right.

I am thankful that I had so many friends and loved ones that stood by me in some of my darkest times. I am thankful for the knowledge that I have gained in knowing what is good for me, and what is not. I'm thankful for growing in mental and emotional strength enough to stand up for myself after over two decades of bending over backwards for people that mistreated me.

I'm thankful that I am still here to be thankful.

Amen and Amen.

Again no. Others have started to dialogue; why not us. Just as mass shootings and killing of unarmed men seems to gain headlines, those issues will not change without people being willing to sit down and discuss a solution. We should not be numb to it happening and just say, "oh well, guess there is nothing I can do." That is what is bull shiitt!

Is incarceration the only way to cure those that either are found guilty or admit guilt? And should it only apply to those in the public spotlight?
If you recall Jim Baker admitted guilt and went to jail for a year. (I may be mistaken.) He came back out and said God would cure him, if those still trusting him would donate $20.

Again I repeat, I'm not seeking stories of one's past. I'm so sorry if you were, but this is discussing the future. Perhaps not for ourselves but our children. And our children's children.

I dont know.....

My view of it is that men cannot be trusted alone. And yes I know its not ALL men, but ive been in the position myself. I spoke out and was completely ostracized at work because of it. I wouldnt do it again.

I dont think this will stop it. And I think it has just resulted in public shaming of people. It will all blow over, all these men have had to do (In weinstein and spaceys case) is say that theyre 'seeking help'

If we are unwilling to change the current culture then the shaming by our coworkers or friends will most likely continue.
