The whistle-blowers I've interviewed over the years tell me taking a stand is a lonely, unpopular thing. Friends distance themselves from you, people tell you you're getting too emotional, they tell me they doubt themselves or feel shame sometimes for daring to confront the powers that be..lotta stuff like that. Maybe that's how they've felt, but for me?
I don't buy it.
Friends have been great. Victims have been grateful. Women's groups are still in shock but I think they'll take action once they pick their jaws off the floor. I'm a child of the 70's. I was in college when Title 9 when into effect. I don't put up with this crap.
I don't do "doormat" anymore.
If this blog offends you, then don't read it. If it makes you angry, then write a letter to the editor - or to me or to Media General (the email addresses are in the column to the left). Standing up for what you believe in is not something to be ashamed of and I'm not. If anyone should be embarrassed or ashamed - it is Media General.
