As a journalist, I am in charge of telling people's stories accurately. But if I make an unethical decision in my journalistic process or tell someone's story inaccurately (with the possibility of ruining their reputation/life), my career would be destroyed. An unethical choice could totally destroy my entire career.

So why is it that famous men aren't held to that same journalistic standard? Why is it that men can get away with abusing women and STILL maintain their fanbase? Honestly, it blows my mind.

As a society, we need to stop supporting men who abuse women. Most often, an abusive past is a small blemish on their careers. Why aren't we talking more about men's crimes? Why are men allowed to outlive the trauma that they've put on women?

The quote that inspired this article was from Bojack Horseman, "When we know what we know about a monster like that and we still put him on TV every week, we are teaching a generation of young boys and girls that a man's reputation is more important than the lives of the women he's ruined."

As a society, we need to stop sending this message. Men's careers NEED to be affected by the havoc they've wrecked on women. We need to hold men accountable for their actions and teach them that this sh*t isn't going to fly.

I don't want future generations to believe that men can do unspeakable things to women and GET AWAY WITH IT. That's not the society I want to be a part of it and like that famous quote says, "be the change you want to see in the world." And that's what I plan on doing. So I'm going to hold men accountable for their actions and I will refuse to excuse sh*tty behavior by refusing to support their careers.
