How to treat people like second class citizens class revised for the new century:
Appear to treat a few people well so you can be awful to the rest.
Make abusive behavior into a joke.
Pay people for situations which will be far worse if replicated in other workplaces.
Be contented with a man or a woman or anyone if only a few benefit from...
(See above.)
Keep expectations low like that.
Say "I don't know why you're mad. Things wouldn't even be this way if lots of people had not liked or at least tolerated this for many years."
Encourage toxic positivity that lacks empathy for others even though it clearly does not serve people from all backgrounds equally well.
When everything gets tough, apathy.

"When the Florida politician Joel Greenberg discovered that one of the women he and Gaetz were allegedly paying for sex was not a woman but a girl at 17 years old, Greenberg, according to reporting by the Daily Beast, told the girl that she was at fault. 'She apologized and recognized that by lying about her age, she endangered many people,' Greenberg wrote. This, too, is one of the surest signs that a girl is becoming a woman: suddenly, she finds herself being held responsible for men’s actions."

"Here’s the official synopsis courtesy of Netflix: 'Six midwestern men — all survivors of childhood sexual assault at the hands of Catholic priests and clergy — come together to direct a drama therapy-inspired experiment designed to collectively work through their trauma. As part of a radically collaborative filmmaking process, they create fictional scenes based on memories, dreams and experiences, meant to explore the church rituals, culture and hierarchies that enabled silence around their abuse. In the face of a failed legal system, we watch these men reclaim the spaces that allowed their assault, revealing the possibility for catharsis and redemption through a newfound fraternity.'”

UP TOO EARLY AGAIN.
“It always takes longer than people think, you know, to be a comedian. I had to go on the Tonight Show and Letterman like 80 times and then roast my nuts doing a TV series for nine years. Then I had to get married — I got married at 45. That takes a long time to find a great person,” he said.
'I had three kids. I had to straighten their insane asses out, and then I had to make a movie with a bee,' he continued, to audience cheers and applause."

"At a diversity and inclusion conference last week, Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said that part of the reason the court had to change the format of its oral arguments was that female justices kept getting interrupted by men. Indeed, a 2017 study of three Supreme Court terms in which there were four women justices found that the three justices who were interrupted the most were all women.
If some of the most experienced and venerated women in the country can't hold court without being interrupted, just imagine how much of a problem 'manterruptions' are for the rest of us."

The incredible how can something that was light and fun and playful get so much more dark and twisted experience.
Whispery: it's almost as if some boys were raised to be not very smart.
My body is too. Might need to just sleep and find happy things to think about the world to get better, instead of starting a film I was going to watch.
Healing is a better end goal.
Sometimes I ask myself questions.
Did I not just want to get along with some people?
Did ghosts interfere because beings are sick and tired of the same old BS repeating?
Did "Black Dahlia M~something" appear on the car in front of me when I drove home yesterday and "Stay Back Driver Also Old" draw my attention to the condition of another car for any EARTHLY YET ALSO GODLY CHRISTIAN REASON?
Be reasonable.
