The stories coming out of the P Diddy debacle are horrific, it’s fucked up, but I hope it reduces some of the naiveté in the world on these issues.

This is a dramatic example, but in the 90’s & 2000’s, this was normal. This was not at all specific to P Diddy, or the music industry. I experienced these types of things while working as a part time sort supervisor at UPS and nearly all of the women I know from that era did as well. This was simply the state of the world. An open secret held in forced silence and shame by the women of that time.

It is what it is. Look reality in the eye.

I wonder if the world is better now? I think probably so. I hope so. I have daughters who I don’t want to have to endure these things.

I haven’t experienced that kind of abuse in a good ~17 years. And I ponder why. Now I’m old, I have connections, I have money… now we have revenge porn laws. If someone messed with me like that I’d call them on it instantly, and I can pay some damn good lawyers to back me up.

But predators aren’t stupid. They seek out people in vulnerable positions. ...young women without the skill set to deal with these situations. Me at 19.

Remember, if you aren’t a target, or aren’t in a vulnerable position, you won’t see this. These creeps aren’t stupid, they know when and how to hide.
