TOO DAMN BAD.

This isn't the 50s and we aren't living "Mad Men."

Times have changed. We're in a new era - where women deserve to be believed when they have stories of battery, abuse, degradation, molestation, and other assorted cruelty to tell. The "just lie back and enjoy it" days are OVER! Unless, of course, we start turning that around on the offending men. Upset about this, dude? Don't like it that I blew the whistle on you and you lost your gig? Well, honey, lie back and enjoy it, then. That's what you predatory misogynistic bullying men/bosses/priests/ministers/counselors/Bible-thumpers have always told us women. Here - now YOU have some!

I've always been kinda fond of the "taste of their own medicine. See how they like it" approach, in cases like these.
