[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like so many of us have lived with serial harassment as young women, but I just hate that this is ahead of her, and soon, at 14. I remember so many unwanted sexual advances throughout high school, college and most especially my first job. Just feels relentless.

I've been teaching situational awareness early on and plan for her to take a self defense course. But I'm struggling with how to teach about the vigilance needed without making all men seem predatory. When I look back on that period of time though, so many of them were.[/quote]

I have only boys and we talk a fair bit about sexual assault, harassment, in-person catcalling and online chatter. I sometimes point it out when we see it IRL or in media. There's no shortage of examples

I don't think things get better with only the voices of women and the legal system. It takes us all. [/quote]
Yes, it takes all of us to solve this issue. But as we can see from this thread, many women are in denial about what constitutes sexual harassment. [/quote]
