"We don't feel respected when...
We are forced
We are ignored
We are threatened
We feel imposed upon
We feel intruded upon
We feel judged or rejected
We are not listened to
We are lied to
We are not given reasonable explanations
We are not asked for our opinions
We are invalidated
We are interrupted
We are laughed at (especially when we are upset or in pain or some kind of trouble)
We are not cared about
We are mocked
We are stereotyped
We are underestimated
We are not taken seriously
Our feelings, preferences, dreams, ideas, needs, or questions are not taken seriously
Our questions are not answers or are evaded
We are told that we wouldn't be able to understand something because we are "too young" or "too old" or because we are "a man" or "a woman" or a member of some other stereotyped ropu.
We are not asked for our ideas
Others make decisions about us without our input
Others do not try to undestand us
Others make assumptions about us
We are not asked what we think we need
Others tell us what they think we need
We are not asked how we feel
Others believe they know what is best for us
Others believe they know us better than we know ourselves
Our way of doing things is not accepted
Our privacy is invaded or denied
We feel betrayed
We feel controlled."

FAIR Facebook poem.
"HOW DARE YOU KEEP US WAITING!!!!! I demand you post right this very instant or I'll... I'll... I'll hold my breath until I slump over and bang my head against the keyboard resulting in me posting something along the lines of "SR Wphgohbrfg76hou7wbn.xdf87e4iubnaelghe45auhnea4iunh eb9uih t4e9h eibn z"!
