[quote=Anonymous]I am pretty street smart.  But I've been molested, sexually harassed and put myself into situations where I've been emotionally and physically abused.

I don't know what I feel about these women coming out 10-40 years later accusing men.  I am trying to listen to the conversation and sort out my own feelings, experiences and opinions.  I guess what I am trying to process right now is that so many of us deal with this on a regular basis, there wasn't just one man who did this to you.  I want to hear your full story.  And I want to hear conversation about how we as a culture can stop this behavior, if that is even possible.

Our lives are about drawing boundaries constantly.  And I have always tried to shut things down, when I see someone's taken inappropriate advantage of an open window, and make it harder for things like this to happen to me.  Sometimes I get cornered no matter what I do. Sometimes I make bad decisions that I don't know are bad until I am looking at them in retrospect.   Sometimes I make bad decisions that I know are bad that put me in these situations.  It is not my fault.  But these things happen because the men who do them are messed up in the head.  And part of life is guarding yourself from the crazy people.  We can't fix the crazy.  So, I am not sure what we could possibly do to solve this problem that wouldn't also solve world peace and world hunger.[/quote]
