Robert Scoble and Me
<i>She was propped up between two of my friends, walked away from the scene, and looked after for the evening. Both of those guys will have my undying respect for what they did that night.</i><p>Yes, this. The antidote to bad men is good men. It doesn&#x27;t help to tar all men with the same brush for simply being male.<p><i>Once she was outed as a victim, the hate mail, the barrage of nasty questions, the endless accusations took, such a toll on her. Eventually, she took her own life. She’d just never been able to put it all back together after that.</i><p>This is one reason a lot of women stay silent: to protect themselves or other innocent bystanders, not the perpetrator.<p><i>The demonization of either rapists or victims is what makes the subject unapproachable, and doesn’t let anyone intercede to get abusive people the help they need, much less the victims.</i><p>This is an excellent piece and I am so glad she wrote it. My utmost respect for this incredible lady.
