[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a 52 year old mom of two daughters 18 and 20.

None of us have ever had to deal with sexual harassment.  Calm down.  [/quote]

Same.[/quote]

Same here. I think it makes 5 of us on this thread so far.  I was beautiful in my teens/20s/30s and always dated very attractive, successful men (and then married one --a physician).  But I was never really harassed--not even really cat called.

I don't really exude sexuality or vulnerability.  I've never dressed provocatively or even very femininely. I'm not saying that women should change their dress to avoid harassment but I've always wondered why I never got harassed why other women say they were continually and I assume it must have had something to do with my clothing.  I otherwise don't know.  [/quote]
It has nothing to do with you. It has nothing to do with how women dress or act. It’s the men. You have led a sheltered life, in which, apparently, you haven’t had encountered a certain type of man. Good for you, but you didn’t do (or not do) anything to prevent this from happening to you, just as the rest of us didn’t do (or not do) anything that made it happen to us.

I was a rather plain, modesty dressed, nerdy, quiet, well behaved child in school. I was sexually harassed by a teacher. I did nothing wrong. I was not the least bit provocative. You have experienced life as a unicorn and it’s insulting to the vast majority of women that you think you have controlled whether or not you were sexually harassed, and we didn’t. VERY insulting.[/quote]
