I think it is clear and obvious that there is a massive, longstanding, global deficit in the levels of basic human decency and respect period.
So why don't we make it about all assault? |

This is sounding a lot like Black Lives Matter vs. All Lives Matter.

Quote:
What society is getting better at raising awareness of is what the victims of an injustice say are the issues they have with it, not what an unaffected person's opinion is of whether they're saying it wrong. Nobody should stop you from organizing the thing that matters to you. Everyone has a valid voice and experience, and if it resonates with other people, a 'support group' develops--this is an awesome thing happening, facilitated by technology. It's open to all. There can also be a backlash. Sometimes retributive movements are conceived of to minimize other people's voices, rather than listening to them. Sometimes "all" is used to drown out an uncomfortable specific.
