    Change is a slow and gradual thing.

    Do you think women gained their rights after just a few years of speaking up?

    Were the rights of minorities gained in a few measly years because folk decided to speak up?

    No.

    It took time and for a lot of brave people standing up despite the consequence of standing up for themselves.

    Silence allows for abusers to reign without fear of their awful actions. And I will never tell a victim to keep their mouth shut.

    But of course, you seem to be pro accept the status quo and tolerating abhorrent behavior that physically and mentally ruins vulnerable men and women in the armed forces.

    Which is genuinely disgusting.
    I am more sure it sucks but I am sorry I do not buy into the report it and justice will happen cause that is not always the case. As people we have very little say in what another person does or how they treat another person and even less say in how a people will view how others view another.

    You say it is disgusting cool I rather be that then dream in some fantasy world that systemic bias, bigotry, racism etc . . . Will ever go away. The reality is sure the needle moved a little over the last 100 years for many movements but yeah still sort of suck.

    Point remains consequences are still a factor and until they are not people will be less likely to speak up which is why I say I do not see things changing in any meaningful way. Especially when such behavior is normalized to a degree.

    As humans riddled with our own biases we will always find a means to abuse power and mock others. Maybe if we can change that I will buy into the notion that things will change. I just doubt it cause we are clever beings we will always find a way to abuse something or someone we want to abuse.
