This pretty much covers it:
12.Wronging me is taken seriously*
1.Those who wrong me are expected to know that it is hurtful, and are considered blameworthy whether or not they intended to wrong me.
2.I have easy access to people who understand that this wrong is not acceptable, and who will support me.
3.I have easy access to resources and people to educate someone who wronged me, if I am not feeling up to it.
4.If I am being wronged, I can expect that others who are around will notice.
I suspect a lot of it boils down to most "offenders" are not psychic enough to read the minds of the "offendees" much of the time. And if they were, they probably decided not to, shortly after they started.
The offendees really need to speak up more. Otherwise, most of the time, we either won't notice them, or not realize how special they are.
I look forward to the day when we all become less sensitive, less empathetic, more indifferent and say "F**k you!" as often as we did in the good ole days.......
