On an Outpouring of Goodness...and A Few Other Reactions!
So much activity yesterday, 99.9% of it so positive and supportive yesterday based on the heinous murder of Eliza Fletcher.
But then a few other people show up.
Some just need more time to learn and grow and that's OK. There are decent people that are on the journey. We all are or should be evolving and becoming more aware.
And then there is this guy.
Meet John.
I wrestled with whether to show you or not. But why should I wrestle?
The only place these red flags grow and simmer is in the darkness.
Let's shine some light.
This guy isn't alone, but he is a coward because he sent me this DM.
Trust me, this is not the first time an older man has sent me disparaging remarks. I know who's out there in my audience good, bad and otherwise.
But this guy right here, I can assure you there are some underlying or overt issues.
This language he uses exposes who he really is.
Not that guy that walks up to you with a big handshake in a public setting. I'm sure he talks like this when he's in the crowd he feeis in the crowd he feels comfortable with.
It's hard to hide such deep-seated ugliness.
So if you don't want to look, put your finger over the picture.
If you're disappointed with me for showing the picture, I'm going to ask you "do you think this guy really isn't a threat to women"?
Because he is.
The only way we know who's who is by sharing real examples.
Not opinions, facts.
Here is your self-employed Toyota Ambassador.
If you send me a nasty DM you're next.
I've been in this industry far too long to be worried about a few fools and I'm not going to quietly tolerate their evil any longer.
Even when women muster up the courage to bring something to the attention of a superior they are often shut down and shut out.
I love my industry but self-policing has been missing in action.
Weed them out.
I'm not scared.
