One thing everyone needs to learn, for their personal lives as well as public, civic lives: whenever ANYone wants to violate your boundaries, impose on you, restrict your rights, take advantage of you in any way, DO NOT ALLOW it because if you do, it's only the FIRST step they'll take to diminish you in whatever ways they can.

It's time we make our boundaries known in no uncertain terms, and INSIST that they be honored at all times.
Else, as my mother used to say: if you bend over, expect to be kicked.
