That’s NOT my line.
But I can clarify it.
It’ll be lengthy.
But what’s new?!
Just for you 😉
and anyone who gives two shakes of a cats tail. 🐈⬛
Anyone can be harassed.
Anyone can report it.
Everyone should be supported in reporting it.
It is taxing on the victim.
I’VE SEEN IT MYSELF.
The reality for women and Children experiencing and reporting dv/sh/s abuse etc is heartbreaking and sometimes life ending! And I do NOT endorse these conditions.
It is my CRITICISM!
To be clear 😊
THAT is my stance.
Most of the above since before Blake Lively was born and I am quite certain until my death. (May that be a long ways off!) 🤞
The stats for women and girls are horrendous.
How many cases of sexual violence, abuse, DV or harassment against women and girls get reported vs how many are actually happening. Right now.
How many cases are dropped before getting to court.
How many cases are successful when they get to court.
How many children ( including babies ) are caught up in the crossfire of DV and harassment. Ending up in social care.
How many women die.
How many children are now without their mother.
It has to change AND Decades ago!
I want women and girls to race away from danger now!
To be believed and protected.
Pack up your things and run and tell your truth!
Knowing it is not that easy.
There is unseen bravery and resilience everywhere. Because there are unseen horrors everywhere.
I worry about ALL this. ⬆️
And so do many of us on this thread, I imagine.
For too long.
I worry about misogyny, wherever it may be.
If I hadn’t been clear on that point, I’m happy to clear it up for you … right here.
And you also see, I do choose, all by myself, what I consider is important to worry about.
If you are more interested in the misogyny against Blake Lively and in Hollywood or indeed this thread…
that’s your choice.
Your thought process.
You gotta do you.
My lens on this is, perhaps, different to others.
That is the nature of things.
I don’t expect everyone to agree with me.
I’m fine with that.
But what we should all expect is respect.
On this thread and in wider life.
So let’s be kind ❤️
With all things That go to court.
You need evidence.
It is an essential part of this process.
Otherwise, what is the judge and jury meant to be looking at?
How can THEY ascertain what is TRUE and give a ruling? And try to compensate accordingly without that step?
Probabilities based on…?
The legal teams charging a million dollars per month are gathering, what now…?
Facts, witnesses and information to present as…?
Evidence!
I do not decide what is admissible as evidence and neither do you, I imagine?
So what I think is “cast iron” (Mirabai’s words not mine) doesn’t matter!
No one gives a fig about what I think.
We are but inconsequential chitter chatter…blowing in the digital wind! 💨
However, I am ever mindful that we are all talking and sharing views here that impact… US.
You, and I and all the readers on here.
We will look up this thread and affect each other in ways we cannot always fathom.
The only thing we can control is our intent.
And I intend to be respectful.
It is incredible what information we have seen already.
Such egos!
I also see.
Truth IS being eroded and replaced with narrative.
Which can only be restored by FACTS.
Unedited.
Uncomfortable.
Verifiable.
and sometimes painful.
But always Freeing.
I want to swim in an ocean of truth.
Even if it’s a long walk through a beach strewn with misinformation and hatred to get there.
I’m jumping in with Jane Fonda!
Splash! 💦
(That was her metaphor by the way. I totally nicked it!)
If anyone cares at all.
My hubby doesn’t give a monkeys 🤣
Hollywood PR eh!
What a mess.
