I was one of those boys and now I’m one of those men. As a kid, a lot of my mom’s friends would talk about “how much the girls were going to like me”. Also had some… Less than stellar touching from an older family member. In high school I was shoved into a locker and got the who Trump treatment of being grabbed by the crotch and just kissed. That was a full on “deer in headlights” moment, and I didn’t even react. As a man, I’m definitely not a bodybuilder, but my work keeps me in shape. And I have long hair. By far not every time, but many times I got out, I’ll get a hand to my chest or arm, and also some hair fondling. But as a man, that has a job that keeps me in shape, I do not have a fear of these women throwing me to the ground and raping me. I also think that what I do experience is far less threatening and aggressive than what ladies go through. I don’t have a fear of them following me home, or stalking me, or just striagh up strangling me to death in a dark corner. My experiences have been numerous enough that I don’t doubt any lady that says this shit happens to them on a daily basis. It’s disgusting, and no doubt terrifying, and I’m sorry to anyone that has to deal with it.
