DO UNTO OTHERS

The list of abusive males keeps growing. Sadly, it includes members of the Church, actors, politicians, comedians, athletes, teachers, news reporters, and corporate executives. The spirit of evil encourages those that have been entrusted with power to prey upon those without.

It isn’t surprising that actress Angela Lansbury would be criticized for saying that females “must sometimes take blame” for sexual harassment, stating that they often put too much emphasis on being attractive.

I can’t speak for Ms. Lansbury, but I think I understand what she meant.

It isn’t a sin to want to be attractive or to be attracted. The problem of harassment is an issue of disrespect.

Lewd remarks and licentious behavior are not the actions of a person who respects their fellow man. There is no excuse for forcing yourself sexually upon another; regardless of how they dress or act.

A man, a true man, would not do so.

To use sexuality as a tool for gain doesn’t need to employ force. Most wouldn’t call it harassment. Yet, it isn’t right, it isn’t respectful to one’s self.

A woman, a true woman, would not do so.
