A different perspective
May 18, 2018
The #MeToo movement created a wave that keeps coming. May I offer a few personal observations? Accounts of sexual impropriety vary between men and women. Generalizing for sure, but the female reports behavior, through her eyes and emotions, the male, same incident, reports a different ‘reality,’ his eyes and emotions. Because her experience was different from his does not mean it is not valid.
Next observation: many women have remained silent until now. Their voices are bringing about a painful, but important conversation. Stop inappropriate behavior. Power position is not license to violate, take advantage of another.
One more thought. Time does not heal all wounds. Humans first reaction to sin is to hide, create a cover up and move on. #MeToo movement. Time to listen.
