I think so.

Or maybe she's saying that we are all complacent as men with the status quo.

Of men doing this to women and then just not doing anything or saying anything about it?

She must have meant complicit, right?

Like, is it just a few men or are you all doing creepy stuff to some degree or overlooking it?

It's an intense letter, man.

I haven't done anything wrong, but, well, recently.

But somehow I feel like I'm on trial or something.

I don't know.

When I was in middle school, the boys created Ass Slap Fridays.

Every girl wearing leggings was targeted.

Not all men participated, but they all knew, watched, and remained complacent.

Oh, okay.

So maybe she did mean complacent.

I'm confused, but I think I understand what she's getting at.

They didn't speak up or do anything about it is what she's saying.

And look, I take her point here halfway through my 40s and as the father of a little girl, not that having a daughter should be the only reason I see this clearly, but obviously it makes me more sensitive to it.

When I hear about ass slap Fridays in a middle school, my heart sinks completely.

Whereas if this happened at my school when I was 11 or 12, I don't know, I probably would have just shrugged it off.

I was a little kid back then, you know?
