HERE'S A NOVEL IDEA.
WHY NOT LEARN TO RESPECT YOURSELF AND THEREFORE IT MIGHT BE EASIER TO RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE TOO.
Some people make you see why some of the "nice people" were the same ones who made all the excuses for bad behavior in Hollywood and in the church and in other places for so many years.
Was a society that treated others badly really so comfortable for them? If so, that is sad because they don't even know how much better it might have been.
Honestly, I wonder if maybe sometimes people act out because they want to trigger change? Or they subconsciously wish someone would address their problems instead of letting it go unaddressed?
"consent"

🌵 SENATOR ONAHOLE 🌵 on Twitter: "@NBedera Perpetrators are most commonly well-meaning people who didn't have a good background in how to respect consent. The pain that results from that is...horrible...but if we acknowledge that, its a lot easier to prevent it from becoming a pattern." / Twitter

"City of Langley dedicates trash can to Conan O’Brien" – KIRO 7 News Seattle
Wow, so much appreciation?! And being so nice in public to a trash can. Makes one think it must be especially hard when the patriarchy aims those "Rich people are trained to expect the world to 'make everything about me!'" vibes at those who tossed aside parts of themselves ... just like pieces, discarded into a trash can.
To get ahead in a patriarchal culture, one must do that in order to treat certain people badly, but then nicely, to make up for it? Well, it seems that kind of mindset is definitely not too concerned about young people who are being harmed by that patriarchal culture.
Another part of why the contentment of some with keeping a lot of things that way truly feels sad is that these do not seem to be people who know how to protect young people from predators. Probably not even the super rich ones.
On the other hand why not shed more light on why that might be so? I suppose that could be useful. Wouldn't be too surprised if more of their "that was fine with me" judgements get questioned further as time unfolds. Although there will undoubtedly be other, far more pressing things to worry about...

Certain people have been rewarded for showing a lack sensitivity for a long time, and deep down inside I think some of them know it. But surely, it was not always that way? Maybe some of those people were better at being sensitive when they were younger. In fact, maybe it is even likely that they were.
But then patriarchal practices influenced them and things got very warped.
Perhaps that is part of why they crave support, so that they can feel reassured. So everyone else changes to accommodate them and their needs. They have been taught it is best to be that way. But is it?
It's as if their curiosity about the world got replaced with a drug called immense self-absorption and lack of empathy. It seems very difficult for some of them to care about anyone except themselves, and yet it is as if they have a hard time doing that also. And that's far less learning about themselves than they could have been doing in this life time.
They might even be doing themselves a huge favor if they weren't so Irresponsible-to-Others, too.
