Isn’t it strange how every woman knows someone who’s been sexually harassed but no man seem to know any harasser?

    Alright. I took time to read your other reactions, and I don’t understand why you would react like this to my own testimony.

    Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough. When I said I only met 2 harassers in my life, I didn’t mean there wasn’t many. I meant they are good at hiding. My own brother looks like an angel, and you wouldn’t tell by seeing him in public, but he acts like a fucking monster the moment a woman is involved. I discovered the true face of my former Texan friend years after we met.

    My other and very personal point was to show that not every women are even able to say no. Patriarchy is not just men telling women what they can or can’t do. It’s also a voice deep in women head that need to be shut. Those are not my words, and I would have found difficult to believe that some women could accept to spend two days straight chilling with a man they don’t even like AND who just abused them if I didn’t experience it myself. That part was for the men who were reading. That was a word of caution to the men, because men need to be educated.

    I thought my own experience could be insightful, and I am sorry if I hurt you in any way.

    EDIT I am beginning to think I misspoke the word harasser for another, more dangerous kind of men. Violent jealous stalker is more akin to what I meant
