Predators Everywhere

Wife beaters, rapists and child molesters put on a big front to their family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Secretly, however, they are monsters. They know how to pretend and deceive people. They create a public image to hide how they really are inside. They are master manipulators. Every time one of them is caught, immediately everyone that knew them are surprised and shocked because they all fell for the fake image the manipulator had created. Just look at priests...they deceive thousands while sexual assaulting so many secretly. Then they deny it. DON'T BE NAIVE...explosive behavior, the outpouring of innocence, crying and pointing out their saintly acts are a sign the monster was cornered and his cover exposed.

Those who make the headlines accused of sexual assault are usually men who are well-off, prominent public figures, and heroes. But predators are not just prominent men, there are thousands more in our cities, towns and small rural areas. Men who stand on the shoulders of abusers who pass on their privilege of animosity. Men who have gone undetected generation after generation. 

Maybe we start with teaching a free course about sexual assault at the community  level to both males and females. To get to the source, it's necessary to ensure that boys are taught to respect girls so that they grow up to treat women civilly and thoughtfully. This would be pointless if we did not also teach girls to respect, love and protect their bodies and virtue. The responsibility is two-fold. Respect must be mutual. There are no guarantees, but let's aggressively start somewhere. Talk is cheap.
