CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@chu @mweiss @mawhrin I've deleted multiple replies - people largely are dismissive and it's what got me arrested and them not. I remember sitting in the police station crying that I was there and they were not - it felt wild.

@chu @mweiss @mawhrin No where did I dispute statistics or bring up anything to make me be told this twice now. I said I support the placement of the ad in airports - work trips are the place these things happen. I know, it was being followed on a trip that made feel cornered and feeling like my only escape was to attempt my own life (there in the airport). Was told to, that there is no escaping the attention I didn't want. I had been through this before, it ruined my relationships. And it did again, I lost everything because of this person who pursued me.

@chu @mweiss @mawhrin Hey, you don't have to pretend. Everyone knows what happens, being told over and over that statistics are different is a weird and wild thing. I can't imagine you'd bring up crime statistics to any other victim of any other crime - especially after being told about people having sex with what are children. I'm sure it would be comforting to an arson victim that typically the arsonist is a firefighter.

I'm skeptical of justice too, but for different reasons, one has been playing out since I was 17 and here it is again. What a mistake to share this.

@mweiss @mawhrin @chu It happens, people need to protect their stereotypes. I've been subjected to this twice. As a minor I worked for the local newspaper's satellite office. There was a woman there who prayed on minors, plying them with alcohol. She took us out for a "Christmas Party" where multiple people got sick, ushered me into her bed and undressed me before taking things further... To this day I'm still blamed for being the aggressor by my (former) friends despite them seeing me being pulled into her room while trying to leave. She even used the incident to try and put distance between me and others who were interested in me romantically. They didn't fire her, though a woman did resign in disgust (only one of the people involved in HR was a man, the bosses were women and the HR reps were women). She then slept with two more minors before being let go. They somehow let the second report slide because he admitted to being willing - though she was the manager and he was 17 years old and illegally drunk. It took 3 reports of sex with children. Anyone else would label her a pedophile like Epstein though she did it with an apartment and drugs/alcohol and not an island and a helpful mistress. In the end, it hurt people all the same. In every case those teens lost the person they were dating when she targeted them.

@mawhrin @mweiss @chu what is the point of your comment to me right now?

@mweiss @chu I had to get a protection order. In two Atlanta hotels she's not allowed to be a guest any longer because she came to my room too often (and I had hotel security remove her). The boss was a woman, the HR rep who fired me was a woman. Both of their bosses and the CEO were women. The harassment got so bad that it put my marriage at risk and I attempted suicide - forever changing my life and maybe making me lose my ability to work. I was the one arrested for DV in stopping her from coming into my room in one town (if you tell the cops someone is trying to sleep with you - it's domestic violence to defend yourself if you're a man). The ironic thing is that my boss told me to "step aside" for the women in my firm who were making moves. They kept putting me on trips with this person, even reassigned my employees to them at one point in a power struggle. We worked together well, we were partners. But the culture of drinking often put her on a path of excess and it became an obsession to "be with me". At one point, she was obsessed with making a child!

I'm 100% certain - for gender reasons - this is going to be my fault somehow. I'm pointing out their genders, but not blaming them for it or anything. But because men typically are a problem, I'm not to be believed. I pushed the EEOC, who did nothing in the end.

@chu @squared99 No, it's okay - it's allowed.

@squared99 @chu Article mentions a work trip. Those are the ones I was abused on.

@lauren They intend to stop it, this is her second crusade against democrats and dark money, meanwhile...

@taylorlorenz And those kids. Also helps distract from the main story: Social media knew they were connecting pedophiles with children and did nothing.

@lisarue Kind of getting the impression from the article they want you addicted to work, your phone, gambling, paying rent.

@taylorlorenz Gambling addicts are comforted with this news.
