I don't either, but I know a lot of people who don't think what happened to them was harassment and I don't want to be the one who is like 'no, that was harassment' if they're trying to deal with it a different way in their minds.

Yep!! I believe the only women who would say they have never had these experiences just don't recognize them as harrassment. Only one time did I spend time educating another woman about what had actually happened to her...it didn't go well..so now I just let those women stay in ignorant bliss.

I've never had anything physically violent happen to me so it's easy to act like you've not had these experiences but I've thought about how I'm sure I've been harassed in ways I didn't even realize because I didn't see it for what it was. I can't name specific experiences unless I think real hard and look at those things that most people wouldn't even call harassment. It's so simple and pervasive in a lot of ways. I also know that I think about my surroundings all the time and don't go most places at night so there's that too.

Same. I think even the woman who has lived the most sheltered life has had to deal with some form of harassment, like catcalling sadly is so common that a lot of people don't see it that way, even if it makes them uncomfortable.

My sister also says she's never felt harassed or experienced sexism and it's so different from my experience. I trust her when she says it but I don't understand how I've had it happen to me since childhood and she can't even recall a single instance.

I wouldn't know how to carefully break it to someone either, but I also think it has to happen because if they don't see it as harassment but have children and don't teach them right the cycle continues :(

so many women have told me 'tinder horror stories' that are actually just dates that have ended in rape. and they never believe me when i tell them, thats not consentual sex, thats rape.
