MeToo
Those who would abuse you
with words of harassment
Often choose those they view as vulnerable young children are the "easiest" targets
In the demeaning minds of arrogant power hungry predators
never express empathy
or apologies for unspoken actions!
Awareness is not enough!

Well, gosh....glad to have inspired! I get the feeling you're one of the good ones. :) But if you're feeling you need it (and only you know that) - I, for what it's worth, offer forgiveness on behalf of those on the other side. We are all broken creatures, and much more so when we hold onto anger. Go in peace. k

K, I have never been in a position to do so, but as a man I feel disgusted by the actions of those who have. I have no tolerance for those obsessed with power and control over other people in general, but those who use it as a tool to get some imagined or real sexual gratification are pigs and should face justice. And a support system must be in place to help those who were victimized to feel safe and equal. I don't want the world to be a place where women wonder who is one of the good ones. I want us all to be good ones. And if some are not, they must be removed from their positions of authority so they cannot do it ever again. Forgiveness is wonderful, but that will never make a predator stop. They will just find a new place to hunt for victims, like Catholic Priests who move from parish to parish committing sex crimes. JJ

At least in the demeaning minds of arrogant power hungry predators. But being the target of someone does not have mean acceptance of their behavior. The system has to be changed to prevent it and to make sure those who prey on others face justice. Companies have to be held accountable for not creating a safe work environment. And the situations are not limited to the workplace. Wives, girlfriends or any family and friends are potential targets for the predatory minded. JJ

You're welcome Brenda! Though that's only half the equation because I'm looking out for men too. I'm hoping all of us can be more than just aware and other men will stop this behavior. There's even a bit of selfishness mixed in that because I don't want anyone looking at me to be wondering or waiting when I will say or do something that Donald Trump would do. I'm a nice guy and an intelligent man. I try not to be arrogant and I let go of pride whenever I feel it rising within. I don't feel the need to control others. In a related matter, specifically on this website, I am deeply disturbed by BDSM, as I have written a few poems on that topic. I consider hat the ultimate form of sexual harassment here, in most cases but not all, women have been harassed so intensely they have become conditioned into a frame of mind that men are their masters. It can happen the other way around, but it's still sexual harassment, or worse, that got it started and keeps a tight grip on it. That's my opinion on it and why I don't comment on BDSM poems. I'll only get myself kicked off the site if I turn comments into debate threads here... You've probably read these and possibly commented on them, but these will give you an idea how strongly I feel about his...
