Guest Opinion: We Must Unite Against Abuse By Lt. Governor David Zuckerman Public revelations of sexual assault and misconduct against women and children, such as those making headlines over the few months, are deeply disturbing. How can anyone think such actions are okay? My hope is that we are leaving behind a time of impunity for abusers, who believed their actions would never be reported or given proper consideration. These assaults have torn the fabric of our society, robbed many of their dignity and human potential, and left members of our community broken and suffering in silence. As a society, we have accepted a slippery slope of insulting speech and behavior, especially toward women, thus encouraging and abetting sexual bullying, harassment and assault. Unless we acknowledge the depth of the problem and massive social wrongdoing, we won’t move forward. As a husband and father, I shudder at the experiences my wife has had, and those my daughter may experience. Our society can and must do better. I honor and support the thousands of women who have bravely raised awareness about the pervasiveness of assault and abuse by coming forward publicly and/or with the #MeToo. Responsibility for these horrific acts lies squarely on the shoulders of the abusers, not the victims. The perpetrators must admit their guilt, apologize and - to the fullest extent of the law - face the consequences. The rest of us, who actively or passively turned a blind eye, can no longer remain silent or inactive. Together we must create a world where everyone is safe and free from victimization and abuse. Let’s build a society where all people are treated fairly, with respect and dignity. Women should be trusted, listened to, and respected as equals. Unfortunately, there are many areas where they are not equal in our society. In Vermont, women earn 84 cents for Netflix Original, Jim and Andy: The Great Beyond HHHH every dollar earned by their male counterpart and 43% of women working full-time do not make enough to cover their basic living expenses. Raising the minimum wage to $15/hour would dramatically impact women since they tend to be more highly concentrated in lower-wage jobs. Imagine being abused at work but staying for fear of losing health benefits for yourself and your family; a universal health care system would address this by allowing employees mobility. Continued investments in quality affordable housing means more options for those who need to relocate to distance themselves from abusive relationships. Innovative and progressive legislation can go a long way in eliminating the prevalence of power dynamics that enable abuse to occur. This is yet one more reason why we must continue the fight for equal pay, universal healthcare, affordable housing and childcare, and other aspects of economic justice. We cannot pretend Vermont is free from discrimination or abuse. We must have honest and open dialogue about these issues. As a Senator, I served on the Sexual Harassment Panel. I worked to clarify rules and procedures, to ensure any harassment allegations were address quickly and efficiently, while ensuring due process and appropriate punishment for perpetrators. As President of the Senate I will ensure decorum and respect prevail in the Senate Chamber. I will not tolerate any inappropriate actions or remarks between Senators, from the press, lobbyists, or visitors. I will encourage lively discourse, proper consideration of different perspectives, and fact-based arguments. All elected officials serve at the will of the people and I believe we should do justice to this honor. You should be watchful and hold us to the highest standards. Our discourse and the laws emanating from our Chamber set the tone for what we want our society to be. When I watch something where an actor is playing an insane character, I wonder to myself: is the actor truly crazy? Did he start off sane and lose his mind for the role? The craziest TV character I can think of is Claire Danes’s Carrie Mathison in “Homeland.” When she’s not completely devoted to her dangerous job, she goes home and becomes an immediate danger to herself with booze and pills. It is possible that Claire Danes is simply a terrific actress who can turn it on and off at will. But I’ll bet no one who watched “Homeland” has ever taken a chance and allowed Ms. Danes to babysit their children. When it comes to entertainers acting insane, Andy Kaufman is the all-time champion. Kaufman became a celebrity in the late 70s with his goofy appearances on Saturday Night Live and his lovable immigrant character on the sitcom “Taxi.” For his own artistic vision and amusement, Andy Kaufman decided to take the love America had for him and turn it into hate. When he would appear on a talk show, Kaufman would come out wearing a one-piece wresting unitard. He would stand in the middle of a makeshift wresting ring and go on a chauvinist rant. Finally, a woman in the audience would become so furious that she was eager to wrestle him. Andy Kaufman would pin the woman, dance around proudly, hold a golden belt above his head, and gloat that he was the World Intergender Wrestling Champion. Was he a brave performance artist or was he actually insane? No one knows. But I assure you no one ever allowed Mr. Kaufman to babysit their children. Most people found Andy Kaufman’s antics weird and troubling. Jim Carrey thought he was amazing. In 1999, at the height of his popularity, Carrey successfully lobbied to win the role of Andy Kaufman in the biopic “Man in the Moon.” And Jim Carrey didn’t play Andy Kaufman, he became him. For four months, Carrey remained in character, day and night. Half of the documentary “Jim and Andy” shows us behind the scenes video of Jim Carrey - as Andy Kaufman - causing mischief and making life uncomfortable for everyone around him. But the star of this film isn’t crazy 1999 Jim Carrey: it’s super crazy 2017 Jim Carrey. Bearded, haggard, and soft-spoken, Jim Carrey looks and sounds like a homeless New Age poet. Sometimes he’s smart, sometimes he’s wise, often he’s off in space. It’s as if he’s having a conversation at the psychiatrist’s office but he wrongly thinks he’s the doctor. Carrey describes the liberating experience of getting to live outside himself and be a jerk for a whole summer. Then he describes the horror and confusion of leaving the character and not remembering who Jim Carrey is. “Jim and Andy” powerfully underscores the message that becoming a celebrity is a terrible disaster for your identity, self-worth, and happiness. There is no way of knowing whether becoming a Method Actor and being Andy Kaufman broke Jim Carrey’s brain or if he was messed up already. All I know is no one is hiring Jim Carrey to babysit their kids. Man, I wouldn’t even trust him to come over and feed my cats for a weekend. stAte OF VeRMOnt supeRiOR COuRt Washington unit pROBAte DiVisiOn Docket no. 481-8-17 Wnpr in Re tHe estAte OF: ROnA J.
