Ok. Deep breath. Grown highlights the very real problem of enablers. Those people who surround and protect perpetrators. Who enable abuse because they either don’t want to see the ugliness of what’s really happening or because they somehow profit from the price of their silence. 

What is the most disappointing to me is those who enable because they turn on their own sex. Anyone who protects the patriarchy over the safety of our children are as culpable of the crimes as the perpetrators in my eyes. Shame on all those who enable. You disgust me.
