When you are little, everything you do is treated and believed to be subjected to innocence. Once the neighbor's daughter followed a man to his apartment right next to theirs. Luckily, they got to her as soon as she entered. She couldn't remember why she followed him. She couldn't remember what she was doing there. I kept the thought to myself that she was probably hypnotized. Her mother shouted at her, but didn't say anything else. Today, if the girl makes the same mistake, of course her parents won't judge. I hope not. But society will. Will anybody blame one party? No. I don't think so. This is what needs to change. Men and women thinking that it is okay to mistreat somebody's freedom to say no. Ignore to respect another's refusal.
Maybe not all of us are confident enough to strike back at haters, at mean that stare and cat call. But it's better late than never. Sometimes I feel when you are a small kid, you are surrounded by protectors. They forget to teach us how to protect ourselves when we grow older. They forget we can't rely on them having our back or standing up for us. We have to learn to do it ourselves.
Oprah's speech had a great effect on people who started tweeting immediately asking her to run for President. But Trump when asked, said that she wouldn't.
Now only time will tell where the fate of America lies. But for now, one speech, as we can see has shaken the entire world! Isn't it mesmerizing when a single voice jolts the others and everyone gears into action for a brighter, better and safer future? A safer world for women. A better environment for all? I believe it certainly is.
