      Yep, and how we all have our own strategies to manage it. Women constantly manage men’s behaviour, keeping them calm and trying to stay safe. We sometimes have to “let” them harass us because if we challenge it they might hurt us

    • omg yes. god this one pisses me off. it’s a classic example of “if I don’t experience it it must not be real or exaggerated”. I have not so fond memories of being catcalled and followed even if I make it known I’m not interested. when I was 11-12 I had old men make wildly inappropriate comments to me. I have no trouble believing the statistics and I’m tired of seeing men downplay it
