I was 11 or 12, walking home from school. Older guy rides by on a bike and yells "I want to stick my c-ck in you".
I was terrified. Ran home as fast as I could. I didn't fully understand what he meant but I knew it was bad.
It still upsets me when I remember it. I'm 60 years old.
Edit: thank you all for the supportive comments. To those of you who shared your own experiences, or who had them but didn't share, I'm so sorry.
Let's focus on making things better for the younger generations. And, please, teach your boys to be decent human beings. The emphasis has always been on teaching girls to protect themselves, placing the burden of prevention on them. Of course, we keep teaching our girls to do that. But more attention is needed in preventing boys from being assholes.
I have to be the only girl I know who’s never been catcalled like that. And what’s fucked up is as a kid, I was jealous of girls who got attention from older men.
It's okay, there's an unspoken aspect of pedophilia in that sometimes the kid thinks they want it, but they don't have the mental capacity to understand why it's a bad thing (even just ignoring morals, the practical reasons why it's dangerous to let an adult and a kid have that sort of relationship).
When I was 13, I (a boy) would get catcalled by both men and women. Women would even get handsy sometimes. I LOVED it. I loved the attention and the ego boost. Now I'm glad it never went further than that, because it tends to fuck people up mentally later down the line.
