A nurse I used to work with got fired so suddenly it didn’t make sense. She was always the first one on the floor and usually the last one to leave. She picked up extra shifts when people called in sick, trained new hires without being asked, and even brought food for the team during long rotations. Patients would literally ask if she was working because they trusted her that much.
One afternoon she got called into HR. Ten minutes later she walked out with red eyes, holding a small box with her things. Management told everyone she had an “attitude problem.” No warnings. No write-ups. Nothing.
A few weeks later we found out she had reported a senior doctor for making comments about her body and asking personal questions that made her uncomfortable during shifts.
He’s still there. Still respected. Still mentoring younger staff. Still laughing in the hallways like nothing happened.
She lost her income, her routine, and the career she worked years to build. All because she spoke up.
I'm kind of an absent friend like i will love you with my whole heart and go out of my way to give you any help you need but I tend to live in my own world and suck at keeping up communication and I'm really sorry to anyone who takes that personally.

Rape as a crime is so fundamentally different. There can be loose justifications for other crimes, like poverty; even murder can be accidental or in self defense. There has never been & will never be a situation that necessitates or accidentally causes rape. The answer is no.
In case anyone was wondering just how insane Republicans are:
In the state of Tennessee, they’re trying to ban a book about seahorses, claiming it ‘normalizes gender fluidity & the idea that males can get pregnant.’
This is where we are folks.
Actually, children knowing the correct names of body parts is one of the factors that protects them from sexual abuse
I've said this once, I'll say it again, the only people who want children's ignorance are the ones who intend to take advantage of it
