Will you tell your daughter that you & 4 friends once pinned a girl down & pulled up her gym dress. Will you tell them how the girl fought & got away after you pulled her underwear down. Will you explain that this is who you once were even if it’s not who you are now as a father?
Will you tell your partner about the women you hit? The girlfriend you beat regularly to the point where other people watching was not an issue. The one who ran to her friends outside the club when you were drunk & enraged. Will you talk about how you swore at all of them?
Will you talk about the woman you assaulted on the way home in the veld? Will you talk about how she screamed, cried, and ran away from you when you were done? Will you talk about how you used your power to buy the docket & your family to silence her?
Will you talk to your colleagues about how you’ve made a deliberate practice of underpaying women? How normal it is to keep costs down by under cutting people for labour that you know you are paying less for just because you can get away with it?
Will you talk about the woman whose career you tried to ruin because she spoke about how you sexually harassed her? Will you talk about how you blocked her from getting opportunities in your industry & forced her to create a new path for herself? Will you say that she was honest?
