There's been too much sweeping under the rug when it comes to many forms of suppression and violence. It will no longer be considered acceptable. Even though it's the past now, I still remember when I had to be the one to say "Enough" to the older people. Both as a child, and in recent years.
"After Amber Czech, a woman welder, is killed, tradeswomen demand action"

This story reminds me of meat department in a grocery store drama.
When a man made threats towards his coworker (a family member of mine) and it was captured on security camera and HR got involved but the company still didn't care and the male managers made excuses and even people in the family could not seem to step it up, that that was brutal. I wonder if this is because these people were hit by their parents when they were children and there's some part of them that just doesn't know how to stand up to violence. And it is hard. It's not easy. It's not easy to do it perfectly, either.
I just couldn't believe these people were trying to convince somebody who had been threatened and who wanted to die because of how disrespectful and disgusting the work environment became, partly because all of the male managers acted like it was no big deal that this violent threat had happened, that she needed to stay, and her life was now in danger from her own psychological state.
These are also the same people who couldn't talk about abuse in the family. So of course when it happened in a workplace situation, they weren't so on top of it either.
Patriarchal culture wants you to make excuses for violent men or act like the violence is not happening, and so many still seem have it driven into their consciousnesses that if you have to have a job that gives you health insurance, you have to put up with violence to have that. Well guess what? Sometimes even the job with health insurance doesn't give you the health care you need.
So sometimes you need to not believe what these Patriarchal people tell you, and you need to believe yourself. And ask the universe and God for help that the people do not seem to know how to give. And if you need to leave an environment and get away from violent people, that's what you need to do. I am never going to be able to feel like acting like money in a bank account and property ownership are more important than safety and honesty.
Moreover, when people are still not mature enough to have honest discussions about abuses that happened, whether it's in society or in the family, that's a real disappointment. That shows a lack of concern for safety and honesty And it's a false sense of control that if you don't talk about it, it won't be a problem.
That's why I'm glad more women are speaking up now. Sometimes they're strangers on social media, but it's more and more and more and better and better and better.
