On the most recent episode of the Graham Norton show, Hollywood’s recent IT white boy Paul Mescal brought up that “no one” will think of using their phone to defend themselves against an attacker, while him and the other men on the couch

Ugh, I love her! And him. Gotta watch the rest of this.

Why did I think this was posted and didn’t feel like searching and commenting?? I love her in general but this whole clip…I felt her frustration listening to them and wanting to butt in then saying that after he was done.

I hate that I am “lucky” to say I’ve never been sexually assaulted beyond a slap on the ass or unwanted kiss but I am reminded of the time that I was literally over it and some guy had the audacity to say these awful sexual things to me (and he was with a crowd of people including women!) I threatened him with my Swell bottle and I got called a crazy bitch but I was honestly proud of myself.

Now I’m just venting. I told another story to friends and my (female) friend asked what I was wearing and I said leggings and a hoodie and she victim blamed me!!! What???

I’m also “lucky” enough to have mostly only had bum grabbing and unwanted cat calling/staring (a couple other things have stuck with me but I don’t really want to go into them), but I’m keenly aware that it can easily be so much worse. And they started when I was a child which is just so freaking gross.

You should be proud for defending yourself! It’s a really hard thing to do - we’re hard wired to not make a fuss or draw attention, but if we’re being harassed that’s exactly what we need to do. They call you a crazy bitch to deflect their behaviour once people start looking. I’ve done martial arts and self defence classes on and off for years and also proud of myself for it! Every woman should do it.

And fuck that person for asking about the clothes. Eugh. I’m sorry that happened.

ETA I’m also venting now lmao. Honestly men just make me so damn angry.

[lamppost1911]

Vent away!!! It helps you and all of us who have dealt with it but haven’t been able to talk about it.

I was honestly proud of myself when I threatened that guy with my swell bottle lol. Of course I initially felt like I overreacted but damn, can’t I just go to the corner store without being bothered??

I’m so sorry you’ve dealt with harassment as well. Especially so early on. Kids should not have to deal with that.

I am always astounded how men will be like “huh, get attacked? That only happens on tv, that never happens in real life, lol”.

[insecuredesign]

The way they immediately had that look of shock their faces says everything. ALL men literally have no conception of what a woman constantly thinks about in scenarios where they might have to defend themselves.

[irajaxon]

seriously. many years ago, i was having breakfast with two male friends and, i don't know how the conversation led to this but, i mentioned how every day when i'm getting ready one of my considerations for getting dressed is "will i be harassed by a man for wearing this?" and in response he laughed like it was the most dramatic and absurd thing he'd heard.

straight masc men will simply never, ever get it.

I’ve held my keys between my fingers so many times. I hate how much pleasure I got from that scene in Maxxxine when she punched Kevin Bacon’s face with her keys 😂😬

I've heard not to do that.

“First, the metal jagged area of the key can easily cause damage to the skin between the fingers when being used violently,” he wrote. “Sharp pain like that can lead to opening of the fingers which will immediately reduce the effectiveness of any strike.”
The base of the key hitting the inside of your hand after impact would also be painful, he added, all of which means you might drops your keys, leaving them vulnerable to a bad guy scooping them up. (And you’d be locked out of the house.) However, Gavish does note that if you have to throw a big ring of keys in someone’s face to get away, that’s an option.
He also suggests that if you must use your keys to fight, try “closing a fist around it with the sharp edge coming out the bottom or pinky side.”

men just don't get it

i took a nice solo bike ride yesterday, beautiful fall weather, and all i could think about was how empty the trail was at times and keeping an eye on my surroundings

[anna_drenxavier]

UGH there's this beautiful trail near my home, but I'm always scared when I walk it alone. Once I saw a strange acting man approaching from the opposite direction, and just turned and left. It made me so mad.

[lamppost1911]

This!!!! I love hiking (I know, dating app worst nightmare if I were a dude 😂) but haven’t gone as much as I’d like to because I’m so nervous about what I’ll come across. My friend’s husband has offered to go with me and I love him but I want to go on my own without having to be nervous. Always the bear.

[birdie_draper]

My mum and I were walking a beautiful trail a couple months ago, and we genuinely couldn't enjoy it because of how hypervigilant we were.

It's truly infuriating how many mundane things women just cannot do out of fear of being raped/kidnapped/murdered.
