This is the name of a book I noticed at work the other day written by an author named Maureen Ryan, and I didn't bother to read through the book as I didn't want to risk getting upset over what was written in it and risk a swearing fit at work, but the exercpt inside the book sleeve has a blurb about "it's not just one bad man" or something to that effect, and the book's description goes on about abuse and exploitation in the entertainment industry. Now while it doesn't specifically mention anything about women being abused by women I can tell just by the blurb about "one bad man" it'll no doubt primarily focus on that and largely ignore the fact plenty of female on male abuse and exploitation also occurs and there's also abusive women in positions of power. I could well be wrong so perhaps someone who's read the book or skimmed through it can verify, but I'm sure I'm very far from the only one here so tired and fed up with the constant ignorance and exclusion of female on male abuse and ignoring the fact there's plenty of abusive women in positons of power and control who cover up not only their crimes but those of other abusive women as well. The book's excerpt also mentions something about abuse and exploitation being systematic but without a doubt there's systematic/systemic efforts to cover up and greatly minimalize female on male abuse as well and try to make it not seem like such a big deal. Hell, we saw it with the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp trial, with how many are still so determined to make Heard out to be the victim despite both the evidence and her own admission of her being the abuser. But of course if we bring this up we'll get the usual retorts of stop silencing women, start your own dialogue about female on male abuse, it's like saying "all lives matter," etc. Ugh.

I'm not denying there's many abusive, bad men in positions of power who've abused and exploited women (and other men as well) and gotten away with it, but absolutely the other way applies as well. There's also abusive, bad women in positions of power who've abused both men and women alike and haven't been brought to justice, and it's a no-brainer to equally advocate for both male and female victims and to punish both male and female offenders alike. It's so tiresome how one-sided this issue has always been. The whole "one bad man" blurb seemed to unfortunately give the book a biased slant though I could be wrong. Because certainly abuse and exploitation by those in positons of power in the entertainment industry and other industry and lines of work don't begin or end with "one bad man," there's other bad men and women alike who are a danger to everyone regardless of gender.
