Finally, Speaking A Language They Understand...
It's time to start hitting these rapists and abusers in the wallet.
So, they’ve come in with the Weinstein suit ruling…and he’s out 17 million dollars.
That’s what I’m talking about.
You know, many of these assholes who think they’re untouchable don’t give a damn if they have a reputation of being forceful with women, or if they’re called a pervert by the whispers around the office, or if people are raising an eyebrow, and won’t allow them anywhere near their pre-teen daughters. They simply don’t give a fuck, because they think they’re smarter and more powerful than anyone who can lob an accusation their way.
For the most part, they always have been.
However, we’re in a new age now. Everything is recorded. We can now get it on video when he comes into our office and cops a feel as he’s “reaching over” you for something. We can record him saying that our raise would be much more likely to be $1 an hour if we could just let him fondle us for a few minutes. We can actually have the proof that all these years prior, everyone kept saying we were liars because we couldn’t produce any.
I look forward to sitting here 10 years from now, and being able to relay that the sexual abuse and rape “we don’t see it, therefore it’s not happening” culture has come to a close. Full stop.
If they don’t care about their reputation because they don’t give a fuck if women like them anyway, these little slaps on the wrist they’re handed in the few times that they’re actually prosecuted don’t bother them at all. Most of them just learn to be better at it. Many rapists learn after jail sentences not to leave witnesses. The same goes for child molesters.
But when you get in that pocket, make them cough up all they have, and much of anything they’ll ever have, maybe they will reconsider their fucking rapey actions.
Maybe they’ll learn to keep their nasty ass hands to themselves.
