In reply to the discussion: question for our female readers: how many times have you felt sexually harassed ? [View all]uppityperson
(115,681 posts)Not quite 13, some slightly older boy grabbed my crotch. My reaction was wth, eww. I was too embarrassed to tell my parents.
16, was grabbed and French kissed by an 18 yr old. My reaction was wth, ewww. I was to embarrassed to tell anyone and worried I'd caught a std when had a rash a month later.
Raped by an abusive boyfriend. Raped by someone I had willingly had sex with who refused to let me go when I said enough, repeatedly.
Told too many times top "smile, you're so pretty when you smile".
Butt grabbed more times than I can count. Screamed at when I said no to sex "wtf is your problem!". Was told "what's the matter, aren't you on the pill" when said no to sex to a jerk.
Been scared at night visiting friends in the city, and even in my small town when a couple jerks made rude comments as I walked by (I was 42).
I've worked mostly with women in my jobs, which helped avoid a lot of job related harassment.
