TRIGGER WARNING: Comments on link contain graphic details of sexual assault and also mansplaining and victim-blaming.
Obviously I read the comments, which is generally a big no-no, but I started and couldn’t stop and ended up posting this:
”Wow. I cannot believe some of these comments. The writer is sharing her experience with harassment and these men are commenting correcting her grammar and telling her to just get high, or please understand that guys have such a high sex drive that it excuses their behavior? Seriously? If I have to live in a society where I need to plan things out specifically to avoid being sexually harassed, there is a problem. And for, I assume, ADULT men to sit here and talk down to the women who have commented with their personal stories of harassment…it’s bullshit. Sorry for the harsh language, but I cannot think of a better word (because I am a dumb, dumb woman with dumb grammar). I guess I’ll go get high to chill out since I’m obviously being too sensitive to the fact that ADULT MEN do not have to take responsibility for THEIR actions, but women–no GIRLS–have to start learning to go out of their way to avoid being harassed whenever they are still children /rant”
Ugh.
