Generally speaking, when we notice we get into the same relationships over and over, there's a reason.
Yep.

We do speak up. It's just that it's not news to ask for equal opportunity rather than special privilege, or not to be physically assaulted. And frankly, I didn't find much in the way of discrimination in the work place. Twenty years ago I suffered no discrimination in law offices. It's better now.
What little harassment I suffered was easily handled personally and privately. For example, I had a co-worker make lewd but appreciative comments about what my sweater dress did for my ass. I pinched his and made similar comments followed by, "you see why this isn't appropriate here." The co-worker blushed and in the end I got friend and ally out of the deal. Publicity would have wreaked that.
If I've suffered any discrimination it is as a stay at home educated mom and the discrimination is feminist. Radical feminists think that by staying home to raise the kids I betrayed the cause. ---- Sorry, but it's my life and part of equality is getting to choose what you want without having your entire gender judged by that choice.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
