3. it always

amazes me when a women says she was never street harassed, never made to feel insecure, never had an uncle touch her breasts and/or ass, never had a guy not take no for an answer. et they seem to think that they are the norm when statistics clearly show they are the anomaly. But they insist because it never happened to them, it never happens.

Even the guys that say it isn't as bad as stats show leave me baffled. They were never around other men who street harassed a woman, never pushed to see how far the could go without the woman having to raise her voice and be adamant about his advances, never not one degraded a woman because she out refused his advances.

Nope, not buying either scenario.

What I do buy is the lies people tell themselves to get through the day.
