Did I say catcalling anywhere? Two guys tried to force me into a car - how is that catcalling to you, or why do you, so keen on data and precision - make this assumption? And as a scientist myself, I very well believe that the basis of any data are these personal experiences, especially since we as woman make them…

Thats BS! I have heard that over and over again, yet I am selfconfident and have had so many experiences with guys disrespecting my borders, just because they think they can, they’ll get away with it or that it is somehow “normal”. More than that, I have experienced to be harrassed way more when I walk around…

very good point..

It will keep being difficult I’m unfortunately sure.

jep. everytime I say “nothing, I just liked how it looks” 1. people don’t believe me anyway 2. I feel like a superficial douche...at the end often people press me sometimes for so long as that I come up with some story which sortakinda might be true after too much self-reflection

jep me too

oh sweet almighty

you effing moron - I am not complaining about shortcomings, but about a culture where it is ok to shame women for sex - what are you not understanding? is racism also just a personal “shortcoming” to you?! if not, sexism is neither

I think that is for me to decide, and I think I have lived enough long on this planet to know when I want to get to know people and when not. Or do you give this “suggestion” to guys too?

No I think he wanted more sex, he asked me if we could meet again later in the evening/night the next day..not exactly the context to get to know the other person as a person better...when I said no, I think his ego suffered and he started his tirade...so hypocritical in many ways..

no..he seemed nice/normal before..

omg..seriously? I am so sorry to hear that! I guess whoever has more power is worse...and currently thats men. Power asymmetry, see also racism, is a hell of a thing...

I grew up thinking man are no worse (or better) than women. Having had lots of experiences with mens sexism, I ask myself the question you are asking too. Often, very often...

oh man. I know such stories. but, to be honest, it is also a good filtering method for douches...I cant take guys with such double standards serious. To me at least its a plain lack of intelligence

well statistically you kind of are (I have been couchsurfing a lot though too never with problems), but I get your point, it’s the perception of men that the are the ones with the control over things, and their self-assured way of thinking that we have to plan all our moves as women for “our own security”....yeah it…

yeah I know. but then again, I just cant effin accept it that I have to put up with such shite even still as a grown ass woman. seriously, wtf

Last week I (female, 32) picked up a guy - after the ONS he tried to blame me with “being the kind of woman who picks up guys just like that” - the fact that this moron did not have to think twice about what “kind of man” he is coming home with me “just like that” shows how intrinsical this damn double standards are.…

I wish that was true, I mean that all asshole behavior was grounded in insecurity, but I fear some people really believe they are superior...

because obviously, a corpse can consent.

Def not only puberty. Nose, chin, jaw, maybe eyes, maybe forehead. Might sound extreme, but quite commonplace among celebs/actors actually..
