Most personal stories I read online are lies. I haven't read these, any reason for me to think most of them aren't lies too? It's the internet, where people go to practice their creative writing.
Ok, now serious. Yes, I got hit on a lot when I was young and for the most part I didn't mind. I still remember unsolicited compliments about my clothing or my legs (they are long) when I dressed nice and went out running errands at the grocery story or whatever but for some crazy reason it always made me happy...I didn't know I was supposed to be offended or feel objectified.
I wasn't much of a player, didn't go to singles spots or anything, and only had "aggression" 2-3 times. Those boys/men were off somehow, not taking hints or reading social cues or insisting on getting my number even though we hadn't spoken more than a few words. I felt bad for them to be honest, I knew they were desperate for whatever reason and it did make me uncomfortable. Those are the ones that COULD have gone bad I suppose, but thankfully they didn't.

I promise, my stories aren't lies
I DO believe you!! I think your experiences are more the norm. But that isn't " interesting" enough for today's social media.
.............They don't even provide any information about the demographics of the "offenders" which might be useful (what if they're mostly "POC" or Muslim...hahaha they wouldn't be sharing that info with us, I bet.)
This is not evidence that these stories are typical or frequent.
These are anecdotes from the Twitterverse. They don't even provide any information about the demographics of the "offenders" which might be useful (what if they're mostly "POC" or Muslim...hahaha they wouldn't be sharing that info with us, I bet.)
Last Friday, my daughter received an unsolicited text from a college acquaintance, who she went out to lunch with once over a year ago. In it, he made an a obscene comment about her body and asked if she wanted to hook up. I was there when she received the message and saw her horrified response with my own eyes. She told him to knock it the hell off and blocked him. This stuff happens, and it’s totally unacceptable.
I remember when women weren't so terrified of everything. Women used to be strong and competent. Most had backbones, and could handle ourselves.
Now, a man says hi and today's "women" cower in fear, run to twitter, and sob the night away, convinced they have somehow been molested and assaulted.
Sigh. Pathetic.
