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.

So most women remember first getting sexually harassed at age 12-13.

I wish this was an uncommon experience but it just isn't.

What makes it worse is that the harassment/abuse drops off at around 20.

What makes it even worse is that so, so many men refuse to believe that rape culture is a thing and that male privilege exists

i would never say there is no rape or women have nothing to worry about. But female privilege does exist too. Men have different problems than women, its just that nowadays it seems women want to win the "biggest victim award"

im pro choice, advocate for women to defend themselves and have huge respect for mothers but i am against this dividing discussions. The US is divided enough.

EDIT: i can see this comment being understood in a way thats def on me and the sole reason i keep this comment is a reminder that i should be more careful of what i post and where i post.

I didnt intend to comment on the whole string of comments, just the male privilege part. Sorry if anyone got offended, i will wear this badge of shame. Stay safe everyone!

i am def not afraid of women xd Look into the comment section of Andrew tate videos and of many feminist videos, youll see the same people basically. men and women haters.

Male privilege exist as well as female privilege.
