Back then, he took them into his office when they were somewhere they shouldn't be (?) had been drinking, had no ID...and raped them. <br /><br />I remember him really well, because his wife-to-be back in the day, was one of my teachers and a friend of someone in my family, so I got to see her "trouseau". The days when women did that. A beautiful blonde girl from the big city, all her lovely things mathcing and expensive things I'd never seen before, dove grey her chosen lingerie colour. <br /><br />I thought about her when I read about him. I thought about her, and the young native women who had the courage to speak out, years and years later. I think this was about 10 - 15 yrs ago. I can't even remember what became of him, after the charges. All I could think of was the young native women, and the dove grey troussearu.

A colleague said: 'but he was such a nice guy'.<br /><br />I posted the article about the bust on my facebook wall, publicly. A complete stranger left a very lengthy porn apologist post in my comments. He also said he was abused. A female friend thumbed it up. Another female stranger applauded him. I wanted to throw up. Women hide the real problem (men) when they use the language to disguise reality. I did it myself for years but instead of feeling shame I am now committed to shouting out truth.<br /><br />Thanks for your comments, very helpful. Also, I only know of this one particular secret that indirectly affected me. There are likely many more I will never know of.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956614259563861254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163837292505572760.post-51279602450927061552013-07-29T23:46:49.310-04:002013-07-29T23:46:49.310-04:00Easier said than done. :)
Clarifying, I meant *on...Easier said than done. :)<br /><br />Clarifying, I meant *one* dirty family secret. <br /><br />Keeping secrets: Apart from keeping secrets, lying about the sad stories like your family, women always lie about their husbnads. Not all men are like that. My husband wouldn't harm a flea. But who is it then who is raping little children, keeping the porn industry going, making women feel afraid to walk in their own town, go somewhere alone. Who? Someone else's husband, son, brother. I have tried an experiment. I'm often told no to walk ... there, alone, it's not safe. From whom I say, well some people you know... Who what people? You mean men righta? Men, I say, you mean it's not safe because of men. The lying starts. You cannot say MEN DO IT. You must say, it's not safe. Some people. We just cannot name who it is does this to us, girl and woman. In the family. Or out on the trail. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163837292505572760.post-64635703219643418012013-07-27T19:06:54.482-04:002013-07-27T19:06:54.482-04:00Pages and pages.

...Such a difficult thing to do but done very well. <br /><br />My god I'd have a tome, pages and pages. You've only one? One of the thoughts that keeps going through my mind as I think about if, and when, I would write, is that women are the keepers of the lies about the male family members. At least in my family. Read the eulogies. Oh my god what a saint but there's a little girl somewhere who knows better, now on in years, and we're told, if there is one, there are more. All these girls now women keeping it to themselves, making themselves sick over it. These are my thoughts.
