(4,035 posts)Starting with being held on the laps of three neighborhood boys and tickled so that everyone thought I was enjoying it, because, after all, I was laughing.
Ending with a guy I thought I was becoming friends with holding my head with his hands and trying forcefully to french kiss me while I desperately kept my lips closed. SO angry I didn't do anything else, but I was just so surprised - I wasn't flirting or anything but smiling and being willing to discuss things with him.
In between, well.....
I think most women have experienced incidents where men have assumed they have the right to a woman's attention/digits/smile/whathaveyou and have become aggressive when denied. You're so pretty turns to Don't flatter yourself, you ugly bitch pretty quick then. And that is sexual violence, ladies and gentlemen.
