Yes, to the point where (speaking for myself) sometimes I've only realized as a delayed reaction that harassment happened.

Jup. You leave the room, go out, puke into the gutter, dust off, buck up & go back in the next day. And so on & so forth.

And sadly, the times that are so overt your mind cannot even excuse them, we have been taught it is better to stay silent because we do not know if they are stable. Sticking up for yourself could go anywhere from being ignored to being right out killed & anywhere in between.

Yes-we internalised male behavior as "just the way it is". Ironic that the perceived "weaker sex" has always believed that men are actually the weak ones for their puerile obsession with their dicks.

Yes to the point that you don’t even realize it’s abuse. You accept the responsibility by not saying anything- we’re conditioned for silence and acceptance.

Very true. I find myself unconsciously doing it constantly & looking back later wondering why my immediate reaction was to make excuses. “They were drunk & didn’t notice.” “The train jostled.” “It was crowded.” Full on touching that looking back could only have been purposeful.

Maybe they'd feel safer in an Islamic majority country where testimony from women only counts as half of a man's?

My story is so messed up, some ppl I’ve told can’t believe it —

And societyvictim shames us when we dare speak out.

What man let's their wife or daughters be sexually harassed and doesn't do something besides tweet about it?
