Damn! Another One?

I am beginning to think that the majority of women have faced sexual assault or harassment. Unfortunate but probable.

I don't know how many men have faced it, but most people don't take them seriously, which is also unfortunate.

I agree on both counts.

I also think that most men who are sexually harassed . . . are sexually harassed by other men. Nevertheless, I still think it's not taken seriously.

I also think that women are more likely to sexually harass other women than to sexually harass men.

I do think that there certainly are women that sexually harass men, I just think it's rare.

And men sexually harassing women is so common that it seems ubiquitous (I have many times in my life see a man slap a woman on the ass, for instance, and not only does he think it's okay to do that without asking her, but she often thinks it's normal despite it making her feel uncomfortable). It's disgusting really. And many men don't even seem to realize that what they're doing is NOT okay, and is NOT just a bit of fun, and the woman does NOT just need to "lighten up". Of course, there are many men that know they're doing wrong but they don't care, which is even more disgusting, but still, I am extremely shocked by the amount of men who don't even seem to realize that what they are doing is harassment. And it saddens me even further that because of the way society is, and how the abnormal is considered normal, many of the victims of harassment don't even themselves always know that they are victims.
