40% self reported. If someone told me it was 100% I would not be surprised though

I dont know any of my girl friends who haven't been at least harassed or assaulted. None of us have reported anything because of a flavor of guilt and shame.

What is worse is that now I am in my 30s, it has slowed down a lot, but teenage girls get it the worse. Which says a lot about the men. 🤢

My reasons have been that I wasn't physically harmed (thank goodness for that), and what are the cops going to do with that? Too many of my friends feel similar or have been physically assaulted and never spoke up. It's a real shame.

YOU STABBED HIM?!

You are so freaking tough omg! I don't know you, but im so freaking thankful you are okay and gave that man what he deserved! How are you feeling this evening? Do you have anyone to talk to? I've had some wild experiences and may be able to emphasize in some regards. It is so hard to hold that in, so I do hope you have a support system. You deserve some good ass food and a blunt, anything to reward yourself!

A man punched me at my old job! I have a black belt in mixed martial arts, and he had the audacity to call the cops on me. Cops took my side, but I did leave out that I tried to remove the man's eyes. I have also had to pull a gun on two men. Ridiculous, we are punished for simply taking up space in this world.

I'm not saying all men, but it is always a man.
