During a fellowship time after church, a person I know started talking about recent sexual harassment allegations in the news and was rather critical of the women who have come forward. 

There are times I would have just nodded my head.  Not yesterday.  I told her that I didn't agree, I had some very strong feelings about this, and I didn't want to get into the discussion.  While I may have come off a little too strongly, it was just one time where I'd had enough of the subject.  And I put my foot down and said, I don't agree and I don't want to get into it.

Well done Alliematt.

Its not easy speaking out, you were spot on to stand against victim shaming.

Takes courage to say the right thing.

Well done Alliematt!
Fabulous assertion  :boogie:

I would love to know how you are feeling in a couple of days time after.

For me, I think I would be going about my day with great ease, focus and with greater appreciation. No niggling thoughts or feelings about what I wish I was brave enough to have said.
