(4,035 posts)I didn't include the rape at 10, the flashing at 12, the comments at all ages. Women on DU have posted on it many times, describing how street harassment started as soon as they neared puberty, how many of us have been raped, molested, harassed. The sick world I live in is reality, where women are conditioned through harassment, a world I am trying to change. When you say that what is wrong isn't how I and other women were and are treated, but how we react to it - well, that tells me everything I need to know about you.
Would you say the same to others who are treated badly? Children who are bullied, minorities who are discriminated against, is the main problem how they react to their treatment rather than how they are treated? Should they grow up too?
