Living in patriarchy is walking home alone at night when a man starts talking to you, ignoring him doesn't help, he keeps pace & talking even tho you are clearly not interested. Then having to duck in a doorway hoping he doesn't see you and harass you more and/or follow you home.

yeah, it's the extreme good faith assumptions about men by men versus literally just trying to be alive as a human woman while you are continuously treated like a thing to be consumed

Sharing doesn’t always help. I literally stopped speaking to a guy because we were discussing catcalling and street harassment, and he refused to believe it was real because he’d never seen it. He thought women made up the stories to sound more desirable.

I mean, that sounds like an awful person? It's complicated, always, but I do think it tells us a lot about fundamental misogyny in terms of whether or not someone you talk to will literally believe you when you speak about personal experience or not That's kind of a baseline

If you aren't willing to believe me when I talk about my experiences then how do we even talk to each other ever
-
I mean, absolutely, which is why I stopped speaking to the guy. But it’s wild to me that it even happened

Thank you for sharing your stories of harassment. No sane person can say catcalling or stalking is flirting. Flirting should stop the moment it is rejected. If carried further, it is harassment.

This I agree with. Creeps need to back the fuck off when told no.

I remember when a random taxi driver followed a group of girls I was with about 1 mile back to their apartment building, snuck in and tried to verbally abuse one of the girls. It was a very eye opening experience for me to see this kind of thing actually happen.

Women would cat call me at my construction job. What were they doing? Should i have told them to not exploit their power and dominance? Cat calling is just flirting a way to tell a girl she is good looking. You dont have to like it but do be trying to shame people for it.
