Who Creates These Women/Men Abusers?

Over the past few months we read in the media, and seen on TV, stories about women, who have been insulted, and/or abused by powerful men, many years ago; I do not know of any male that has come forward recently.  These women, apparently, valued their careers more than their own dignity, why else would they wait until the perpetrator was no longer of use to them for their career advancement, one could ask?  Their convenient silence apparently benefited them, but did nothing to stop these ugly abusers from hurting other women.  One would hope that a once of social empathy with their sisters, at large, would have been another reason, why to speak out right there and then, and not wait for many years, to finally come forward.

In the movie industry, and many places of work, connection is everything for people with exaggerated ambitions; often they would sacrifice their self-esteem, just to achieve a goal.  They, apparently, buy their movie roles, or positions at great moral expense.  Like in commerce, there is such a thing as buyer's remorse, and, apparently, this is what is taken place over and over of late.

Sexual harassment was a big no, no for many, many years, and organization, including the Government, had published policies, as well as rules of law, dealing with this problem.  A great number of perpetrators had their careers shortened because of it.  Women and men who were victims of sexual harassment were protected by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a federal law that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion.  This law is very far-reaching, and most certainly includes unwanted sexual advances, and most definitely sexual assault and rape.  Criminal laws have dealt with statuary crimes like sexual assault and rape, for much longer than that.  Ref. 10 U.S. Code § 920 - Art. 120. Rape and sexual assault generally.

I recall, not too long ago, when a famous actress, on TV, referred to a recent outed perpetrator as God, by name; it is this kind of, self-serving, adoration which, in the eyes of the perpetrator, gives him or her license to do whatever comes to mind.  After all, Gods can do no wrong!  The world always had these Brown Noses, and probably always will have them in the future; this appears to be the only way that such individuals think they can achieve their goals.  I saw, also on TV, when somebody proudly proclaimed, when you are rich you can get away with everything; unfortunately this appears not to be an isolated opinion, by the looks of it.

Should one shed a tear for all these victims?  I ponder about these stories, and find no clear-cut answer; the time intervals between the acts and the reporting seem unnatural.

A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

Ref. Wikipedia

"A picture is worth a thousand words" is an English language-idiom. It refers to the notion that a complex idea can be conveyed with just a single still image or that an image of a subject conveys its meaning or essence more effectively than a description does."

I made the image as large as possible, for your reading pleasure.  I refrained from making a comment, because the pictures says it all.

A Chain Of Nastyness All-Around

The nasty, cruel and inappropriate remark by the special advisor to the President, regarding Senator McCain, became only hurtful when an equally nasty act was committed by a person, unknown, present at the meeting, leaking it to the likewise nasty media.  This media outlet did not stop itself from hurting McCain and his family.  Whichever media company broke this story, should also apologize to the McCain's family for their willful act to hurt them publicly.  The old adage is, what you don't know can't hurt you, but the nasty media wanted to make sure it became publicly known and therefore hurtful.

There was a time when the media would refuse to publish such garbage, especially when it could hurt an individual, a war hero to boot, but that was then.  Today, the media at large is in serious competition with the tabloids, and very successfully I might add.  President Trump has serious confidentiality problems; he is the captain of a leaky ship, navigating in dangerous waters.  To add to his problems, he himself is not shy of hurling insults at others, and his crew desperately wants to emulate the captain, hence, this latest stupid remark by one of the crews.

Now the captain has a problem, throwing the crew member  overboard validates the leaked information, and rewards the 'Leaker' for his/her breech of confidence.  Keeping the crew member gives the appearance that the captain agrees with the crew member.  What to do?

All the foregoing is proof certain that we live in a very nasty world; it appears it is not getting any better, with the next generation, their so called 'Social Media' has become very unsocial to downright nasty, as well.
