[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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 [b]why I never got harassed why other women say they were continually[/b] and I assume it must have had something to do with my clothing.  I otherwise don't know.

I think people have different tolerances and perceptions of "sexual harassment."
For example, some people with heightened sensitivities today can find traditional/innocent flirtations "harassing." Some are fine with those same "flirtations" - if it's someone they like/are interested in; but consider it harassment if it comes from someone they don't want the attention from.
Then there are some who probably don't consider one construction worker whistling as they walk by a construction site one time to be harassment, whereas another woman would. Or being leered at - harassment? or just creepy?[/quote]
Given that 1 in 5 women have been raped and it is hard to judge the age of others, not to mention a large portion of women do *not* appreciate catcalling, the appropriate amount of catcalling is zero. [/quote]

Bring violently and forcefully raped is rare.  Majority of these so called rape incidents are just regret or being too intoxicated to properly consent.  While not excusable, this is avoidable.  You should never put yourself in a situation where you are physically unable to consent to sex, or driving or whom you are with or the events going on around you.  [/quote]
You make me sick to my stomach. I am not a feminist at all. I am pretty culturally conservative. *HOWEVER* even I know most rape allegations are NOT false. A good portion are he said/she said situations that cannot be substantiated either way, however, that absolutely does not mean they are false, or "just" regret, or she was drunk so its not "real" rape, whatever the hell that means. True false rape allegations are single digits of the complaints. There is no evidence at all rape has a higher rate of false reports than any other crime. Quite the opposite, victims know they will immediately be judged and gaslighted (because of people like you) and 80% of rapes are not reported at all. There is no requirement that unwanted sexual contact include violence to be "rea" sexual assault. Even being totally unconscious and not having a memory of it, is that woman "entitled" to not have to entertain unwanted sexual advances after going through that experience? According to you? Why the f--- do women have to justify their preferences? Keep your d--- to yourself. Go on a dating website or hire an escort. You have no right to cold call peddle your d--- to every woman in sight. Just stop. [/quote]

If so many rape allegations are “he said/she said” (and therefore unprovable) how does it follow that you KNOW that “true” false rape accusations are rare?[/quote]
