Consent: To be in full agreement.
Rape:
Against his or her own free will.
Why
has it taken so long for humanity to reach the place at which we now find
ourselves? Perhaps as long as there have been people of power and wealth there
has been people who have been taken advantage of.
It seems to be a flaw in the personality of
human beings to inflict ourselves upon others, whether in race, religion,
politics or gender. Although present across all walks of life the most obvious
industry has been the entertainment professions because there has been so much
to gain. So, you want to be an actress, come and sit with me on The Casting
Couch and let us discuss it.
Finally, Rose McGowan, an aspiring actress with
enough Chutzpah has said to her tormentor, No! Basta Ya! Enough already! I’m
sick and tired of this treatment and I’m not going to take it anymore.
And now we are at a place where everything has
to change, is changing and will change.
Rich,
powerful and famous have only to simply be accused and no-one has yet even gone
to court, but they have been absolutely destroyed in the court of public
opinion!
What
does this mean? I’m speaking to all men everywhere:
It
means that it is not alright to demean women in the street or anywhere as a joke.
It never was.
The word No deliberately has two letters and one syllable, so what’s not to understand?
Women, If you mean maybe that’s what you have
to say. If you say no, we cannot and
will not read your minds.
Men, when we hear the word no we must stop what we are doing and step back. Even a prostitute has the right to say No! Stop!
It's all about respect for the other person's dignity.
I respect your mother as you respect my mother.
I respect your sister as you respect my sister.
I respect your daughter as you respect my daughter.
"Until
we are all free we are none of us free!" Quotation by Emma Lazarus.
