Respond

Responding to a women’s call is why men behave the way they do, period. It is the first and last line of defense for all abuse that takes place in this group. It is why RJ sexually abused me as a child, and why RJ and Bill will physically attack someone, mostly women, without compunction. The ‘men-only-respond’ idea is sold as female empowerment. Believing that women call and respond while men only respond ultimately means you are calling any kind of attention you are getting.
