Yes the situation we find ourselves is always of our own making and manifesting. I still have empathy for the women who inspired this article. We are where we are on our stages of growth and personal understanding. My bad experiences happened decades ago, my concern was with the young women NOW suffering. Society has an impact, mob mentality has an impact, core values and commonly agreed codes of conduct. It is looking inwards, of course, and also what impacts us from outside. It broke my heart to see and hear young vibrant women get so disillusioned because of shitty treatment. I just wanted to shed light and have a conversation about it which I have. So many comments on this little lyrical essay. Thank you for reading.
