I have experienced light harrasment at places of work but won't tolerate it and I know I am protected by laws.
When the #catcalling discussions were being had in various places last year several women shared stories of how normal this was and the guys were astonished and had no idea most women go through some form of harrasment or abuse or cat calling growing up. I am sad any of us has had to deal with it.
I remember going to the store when I was 14 and I was with my sister and 2 older men told me to lift up my sweatshirt so they could see my ass. WTF. Who does this kind of shit, but I have seen it.
Look up #firsttimeIwascatcalled and other related threads online.
My second youngest brother once told me he raped some 14 year old girl at a high school party but he smokes a lot of weed and liked to tell "stories" to see my reaction back when I was younger, so who knows if its true.
