Sad because actual paedos gonna be like “who, not me, someone cried wolf on me!”… As someone who was trafficked and abused with my sister and then even after she got out, I’ve heard them laugh about paedos caught in the news and act like they’re not exactly that. Meanwhile the people who actually hurt me stayed or died free because you also see on the news how false accusations ruin innocent people’s lives, so it feels like what we say as real victims not only doesn’t matter but will be ignored because sexism is back full-swing and they prefer us women to be seen and not heard once again like the old days. I wish patriarchal societies weren’t hell-bent on using and ending women and children to justify their means of global blackmail control.
WYM in-house maids/groundskeepers used to be paid a salary even when they lived on the land, but nowadays they call it “work trade” so you end up doing both of those things just to keep a roof over your head and zero money in your hand for all those days lost keeping their home spic-n-span, even controlling your ability to have visitors at your work-trade Lord’s-land bc they ain’t just landlords anymore at that point. Actual slavery without the whips and torture.
