Protect & care against harm
If anyone tries to act the scandalized by the recent revelations about certain Hollywood figures being frequent molesters, here's a twist for your mind: Actually Wes Craven already said everything about this in Scream 3 a long time ago. Go watch that movie and reconsider the stories you're hearing now

Only I have a problem with the representation and spread of the... how do I say?... I have problem with making people be mentally constituted to expect that others must take care of not violating them.
Meaning, I have a problem with getting people to tick in such pathways that, whenever somebody harms them, that they have to call another person in order to protect their integrity and their rights.
You see... That it becomes alien to people to defend themselves, which every primitive animal does, and to take care of their own body, their own psychical life and their own dignity.
I feel like people subscribe to doing a lot of shit, in order to pursue their own goals, and later they complain about feeling dirty because of it, because they behaved so much like a street whore, and what they did was not thinking before doing - acting like a little child which doesn't know what it really does.
But instead of questioning themselves why they behaved this way and trampled so much on their own self, they go out and blame other people for what they "made them do". Totally ignoring there are two parts which lead to a result, and cementing it that this way of lack of care for one's self is a common thing that everybody does, everybody should do and everybody should approve of, when it comes down to such people blaming other people for what THEY did out of own selfishness.
...You get me, what I mean?

People are just like... little kids who make themselves dependent on someone, and when this someone doesn't treat them well, they cry out loud how much of an asshole he is. While completely ignoring that they're adults themselves and they're also responsible for taking care of keeping harm away from them - not even to say, they're also capable in physical and mental condition to do so (compared to kids who're always subject to the "I'm so small, adults are so big"-twist).
You know... Like "evil is not supposed to happen", but it's not present only in the back of their minds that it CAN happen because that's a fact of life.
And when they're aware of it, then they only habor the self-evidence that everyone must support them in their opinion that the other part, the abusing part, must be mercilessly punished.
Like - they're not aware of it in the tiniest bit that they also must take care themselves which situations they expose themselves to, that they have to make sure they don't run like straight into it.
When they run straight into it, then there's only blaming the other part for what he's done, never a word about "did I maybe act too naively myself?".
I feel like it's not right to spread this like it's a self-evidence. That you can blame anyone at any time for something where you should have been careful yourself ALSO.
I feel like that helps spreading this child-like mentality, as well as keeping it up in fully grown adults.
