"I'm not a butt toucher"

All right, I know.  That's a rather unusual blog post title but it's okay. 

Times are a changin', aren't they? I have a day job which is an entire universe away from my deep love of creativity and women's spirituality. I have intentionally kept my professional world and my personal quest very far apart from each other. And, there's a good reason for it. 6 years ago I was accused of being a witch and experienced a real live witch hunt.  But, that's another story.
Today, as I was walking out of my office one of the young ladies adamantly said, "I'm not a butt toucher." I looked at her quizzically while the other teens in the room started laughing. "Ummm, Meghan, are you okay?" I asked her. "Oh yes. But, I am not a butt toucher.  Jacob just told me that he thought I might touch his butt when he walked by and no. No, I would not do that."  she said with vehemence. "I believe you Meghan." I replied. 

Her statement both caught me by surprise and prompted reflection. Despite the ugliness in our society and the uncovering of awful and outrageous acts against women I believe strongly that we are witnessing the fall of the the patriarchy; one deeply rooted column at a time. In fact, Joe Biden just said that he will 'be more mindful of personal space'. That seems to be a ridiculous understatement and an indicator of how much has changed in a short amount of time. 

In my work world, I witness the way teens treat each other and how they are communicating clearly what will be tolerated and what won't. I see boys more affectionate with each other than ever and I see girls coming together to support one another instead of tearing each other down. Unfortunately, what they are witnessing in popular media is a different mindset altogether; one filled with despicable and disgusting behavior. Every single one of us will need soul healing to recover from the damage done. 

In some cases, these are subtle changes but they are evident if you're paying attention. I serve in a leadership role where most of my counterparts are male; I am paying attention. I am absolutely confident the tide is rising and I'm proud to be a part of the most important culture shift in the modern history of women. 

The children in our communities are profound and brilliant. Support them, protect them, and model outstanding behavior. They deserve the best as they are changing the world.

Honestly I'm so happy to hear about experiences like this, I see parents around me starting to consciously teach their children about changing what they see around them with their own behaviour. It is exciting times indeed

I am so sorry you experienced a witch hunt. that's horrible. I too felt the need to separate from my real name last year. There's so much I want to talk about, want to be authentic, and yet, I don't want employers to be able to see these things/know these things about me. I totally get it.

My heart is lightened with how you've described teens today. I hope to raise my son to be super respectful of boundaries and people. 💜
