Trust is not a gift.
Trust is built.
Earned.
Sustained through action, protection, and accountability.
But what happens when a society builds its laws, culture, and institutions to shield, excuse, and uplift harmful males—even as women and children bleed, suffer, and disappear?
What happens is what we are living now:
Women who don’t report.
Girls who don’t tell.
Survivors who whisper instead of scream.
Communities that cover instead of confront.
And generations of harm wrapped in silence.
A society that trusts predators over protectors cannot expect to be trusted in return.
Because how can you trust:
Schools that ignore abuse reports to protect reputations?
Faith spaces that preach forgiveness for men but banish the women they harmed?
Movements, political parties, and families that center male feelings over female safety?
You can’t.
And you shouldn’t.
🛑 A society that centers harmful males does not deserve the trust of women. Or girls. Or children. Or safe adults.
It has broken that trust. Repeatedly. Historically. Systemically.
We are taught that trust must be earned—except when it comes to systems that have proven themselves unsafe.
We are told to give the benefit of the doubt—even when doubt could cost us everything.
We are told to forgive. To be nice. To be understanding.
Even when the world refuses to understand us.
But let this be known:
✨ The era of unearned trust is over.
✨ The age of blind loyalty to abusive power is over.
✨ The demand for accountability is not a trend—it is a rebirth.
If a society wants trust, it must:
Center safety.
Build justice.
Hold the line.
Stand up to harm—no matter who the harmer is.
Until then, suspicion is not paranoia. It’s wisdom.
Caution is not cruelty. It’s protection.
Distance is not coldness. It’s survival.
And silence? That’s no longer an option.
