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

Truth, women have all control of the universe

So are you saying the news stories of these women coming forward, they asked for the abuse to happen?

Abuse is not about S3X. It's about control. Having power over another human being. Making them feel weak and unable to do anything about it.

Absolutely not. It has been swept under the rug way too long. There are even instances of thousands of dollars being paid to hide it by the signing of a non disclosure legal writ. The sole purpose of that paper was to protect the abuser while the abuse continues. It was like a stay out of jail card.

So, one is to tell how to fix what is wrong without including any feelings or experiences on the subject. Hmmmm
You are after a clinical take?

No, not necessarily. Just thoughts and ideas to begin the reversal process. It is not going to happen overnight. But it will happen. It has to happen. Sexual abuse is not okay. No way. No how.

I see no clear path to a honest conversation on this subject. Especially when you tied so many hands from the start.

I'm sorry Eddieee, I don't follow what you mean. Ideas about how we can change the culture of abuse in our society need not include the admittance of one's past. And I'm also hoping both women and men can contribute.

Dialogue is the start to healing. Those that have been in pain have hurt long enough.

I hope this can be a dialogue of how we as a society move forward by changing the culture.
I absolutely do not want anyone that has been sexually abused to come forward; that's not what this post is about.

Think it is gift enough to have all my friends back in this "place" that is so so close to the original it feels like home. It's reassuring and heart warming.

Gift idea is great, but I for one are flat broke, so won't be able to participate.

You are right. We are surrounded by many of our old friends and that is a present itself. I am super-pleased to see us back together. I must admit, I cried the day I joined. I could not believe what I was seeing. Hugs all around to you and many others here especially @Rockster160 He might get the longest hug of all. Hope he doesn't suffocate.... lol
