Across this nation, we have an infection of the weak being exploited by the strong.
The problem is that is not the case.
What we really have is the need for the people to allow themselves to be exploited because that makes their meager lives important; and as a result, those who are equally weak in Constitution to take the action of inflicting pain upon others to make themselves "bigger".
Exploitation of people is neither a new concept or something that has "exploded" in modern times.
What we have is an over saturation of reports of the so-called weak being taken advantage of by the strong - and this is a backstory to the victim class that is now an industry where harassment cannot ever be the responsibility of the harassed, where women are always exploited or treated unfairly or under paid, and where behind every poor decision by a black person is a white person seeking to exploit his white privilege for profit.
Yet every person in this country has the most effective weapon to combat exploitation: the word "no".
In this recent situation of harassment claims by women, what we have here is a failure of the so-called victims to act like adults and to utter "no" when a pig demands a favor in exchange for a promotion or wage increase or other payback. In the land where adults act like such, the simple utterance of the word "no" establishes the red line of conduct - and at that point - when crossed by another piggish action by the "harasser", now clearly establishes the predicate to the "victim" to take the monster to task through all legal means.
For some reason many women find it to their advantage to stockpile instances of abuse as proof that they are being taken advantage of - yet these very women fail to undertake the adult conduct of establishing you are worthy of more than piggish conduct and that you must be obligated to draw your own line in the sand and then to take your ass home to find a good lawyer when the pig persists.
We have an epidemic of abortion - not because we have spontaneous and immaculate conceptions that have suddenly exploded across this country. Rather, we have an epidemic of stupid women who fail to comprehend that crossed legs are the most effective method of birth control ever conceived. And when the word "no" is uttered, the defense is established. You do not want to be humped and that your power over your body starts and ends there. You have made it clear you don't want sex and that could mean that you have to get your lazy ass out of bed and to kick the bum out or to take your ass home.
The power of "no" is the most effective means available to prevent abortions - women who fudge on "no" have no one else but themselves to blame for getting pregnant and thus cannot shift pregnancy responsibility to the male. If both genders are equal, then a woman who fudges on her power of "no" has actually consented to sex and bears the entire burden thereafter of bearing to full term the fetus. Of course this discussion doesn't hold to situations of rape as uttering "no" is as meaningless as using a spoon to shovel a sidewalk in the middle of a blizzard.
In the instance of true racism, the power of "no" is no less powerful as a weapon to ending racism. If you feel you've been held back because of your skin color, you must ensure that you are not doing things that make you unmarketable as a benefit to a business. If you dress like shit, then you instantly create an unmarketable situation that isn't due to racism; rather, your plight is due to your personal stupidity. Dressing in athletic wear for a job interview is not acceptable even if you feel like it makes you big; you deserve to never get a job if you choose to play by one set of rules when the game is played by another!
I contend that the more we say "no" when confronted with things that impact our personal mores, the more powerful the word "no" becomes in all situations. When "no" is never uttered, it has no power. When "no" is uttered only to result in uncrossed legs and easy passage into the love tunnel, then "no" is worthless.
We must hold firm in establishing a tone of conduct that proves we are adults seeking adult behavior and that we will reinforce our utterance of "no" with consequences to the predator, to the offender, and to the idiots who seek to make their own weak selves into big people wielding the power of position over us; you see, most abusers of power, are themselves weak people who seek to mask their own low self-esteem by hurting others. So often is the bully the weakest among us - but we must use the word "no" in a herd mentality where we take on the predator with our herd of power. The weak among us is so easily hunted as prey, but if the herd circles around that weak after the weak utters "no", then the power of the word is exponentially more energized and powerful.
Of course if the "weak" want to harvest their weakness for future profit, no amount of preaching the power of "no" will prevent them from creating a bumper crop of sob stories for later sale for profit.
