Two issues on our rape culture and one party system.

3. " why would you put yourself in the same exact situation a second time?"

Because we live in a rape culture. It happens once and you convince yourself it was a one-off, that maybe you don’t remember it quite right, that maybe you sent out the wrong signals. Whatever happened, you know it was morally or ethically or spiritually wrong but impossible to prove legally. He’s a powerful man and you’ve heard the rumors and you should have known better. How could you have been so dumb? You thought you were savvier than the others, but no. But you love this work and the people you work with and there are 100 people behind you who would love to get where you are. You can’t jeopardize that. So you’ll be careful this time. Now you really do know better. You’re a good team player. You won’t rock the boat. You don’t want to be seen as a troublemaker. It’ll be different this time.
