People waited with bated breath until skeletons fell out of corporate cupboards. But employees, fearing job loss, stayed silent.

One head rolled in a leading bank. Silent whispers … we always knew this.

But nobody spoke.

It happened in 2016 with the advent of the #MeToo movement.

It felt like the victims would receive justice at last. But no … Money power could appoint 99 lawyers to defend a single abuser.

So-called artists were kept out of shows for some time but slowly found their way back. It feels as if those girls did not exist.

Politicians fall out of grace only when they pose a threat to deemed gods. They have all been the same all along, silently hand-in-glove, playing the same games, some dirtier.

One grows too big for the country’s landscape and subverts autonomous institutions. Nobody can judge them other than a gullible mass of jelly swaying to divisive tunes. And this jelly-like structure will give in once again… because they are unaware of their power. They mourn the lack of alternatives on social media and go back to watching hackneyed and controlled media channels.

If some people fall from grace again, it will be the blind and deaf voters who suspend intelligence and succumb to rhetoric.

And it will be a well-deserved fall … for they failed to learn the game and elevate themselves.

    1. For some women, life is a constant battle against patriarchal mindsets.

      Judgmentalism is so high that you talk about an event, and they start commenting on personalities and expected roles. Whether objectivity?

  5. The MeToo movement was a good thing as it raised awareness about those who were committing sexual harassment or other assaults and hopefully, they will be judged and held responsible and the people who spoke up and report this bad behavior are more likely to be believed in the future.
