Preventing silence and backlash

October 30, 2017


People who are accused of misconduct are going to stop trying to take responsibility for their mistakes if they are treated as if nothing they say or do is a step in the right direction.  

If you want men to participate in the process of social change, you have to respect their right to speak.

Crazy, Slutty, Conceited Lena; thankfully, people such as Jared Leto protect everyone from her.

This picture was a joke about me, wasn't it?

This is another page from which what I wrote vanished from the page when I tried to publish it.   I have to write it all again.  I am outside, in the cold.  I can pay more money, to buy something and be indoors so I can write the page again, or I can stand outside in the cold and try to remember everything that it already took me half an hour to write.  While I figure out what I should do, I'll add the address for the term "Orange is the New Black original promotion" at the Images section of Google.  That's the picture that the title of this page is talking about: https://www.google.com/search?q=Orange+Is+the+New+Black+original+promotion&client=safari&hl=en&prmd=inv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjLpNeBkavaAhXE1IMKHS3wDW0Q_AUIESgB&biw=320&bih=460&dpr=2#imgrc=w6jZASmCt6OFiM: White people.  Black people.  Latino/a people.  Asian people.  People of all races and religions.  Young people.  M...

I am not sure why there people who are so enraged about your statement.  You are not accusing anyone of lying.  You are not making vicious, deceitful counter-accusations, attempting to discredit allegations against you.  You are not angrily defending your reputation.  You are not suing or threatening anyone.  It seems to me to be as empathetic and truthful a statement as you feel you can publish at this time. I also don't think that anyone has the right to tell someone when or how he or she ought to announce a sexual orientation.  I have never heard of anyone responding to an allegation of heterosexual misconduct by trying to address the allegation and the effect of the alleged misconduct on the victim and then saying "I'm also heterosexual, in case anyone was wondering."  There is no stigma for being heterosexual, unless it's the stigm...
