tweet by Zara Larsson @zaralarsson:
Isn’t it strange how every woman knows someone who’s been sexually harassed but no man seem to know any harasser?

    TBF I’ve known a hand full of men who openly talk about harassing or having harassed women. They just don’t see it as harassment, because they think it’s “no big deal” or that they “have” to treat women like that.

    TW sexual assault: I was once waiting for a friend when a very drunk man came up to me and started talking. He was babbling about how he likes to fight, and his ex and so on, when he suddenly shouted (direct quote): “I didn’t rape her! I just punched her in the gob a few times and she spread her legs all on her own!”

    I think that’s an extreme case, but not as extreme as one might think.

      This right here is the quiet part of the tweet out loud, thank you! 👏👏👏
      It’s all around all of them (us!) constantly, it just isn’t a problem to them, so they “don’t see” it (to varying degrees of awareness).

      Also jfc what that guy said to you, but as you say not that extreme or even unusual… 😕
