EVERY woman in her life would've faced some type of sexual harassment, even if it is subtle...Its a given!
The water is so above the head that most of the times the women don't even care to acknowledge or even recognize it...

^ yes true
my mother also faced it , her doctor of all people..
Irony is , the maid in my house, was the only woman I know who left her husband because he used to harras her and beat her and she had him beaten up..
we expect the higher strata of society to be little progressive , but truth is we are too scared or give tooo much importance to our societal image..

But what are we going to do with this honour if our daughters are being traumatised.
..

My cousin did not file a complaint yet because her harraser is quite old now and has grown up kids and she did not want to disrupt their family.. she has kind of given up and said he is going to die anyway..

But this is so wrong isn't it..

I request everyone to support the victims, listen to them and help if you can.
Don't victim shame and doubt their credibility, its incredibly traumatizing,.

At that time, it took me moment to understand what's happening and then I felt so disgusted, I could not react. Now that I think about it, I feel I should have slapped that bas***d then and there.

It's obvious that almost all women have faced it as the moment you walk on a road or travel in public transport, you'll meet such jerks who pass disgusting comments and even physically harass women. The problem mainly doesn't lie with the person who is harassing the women but the people who watch it and keep silent. They pretend to be dumb, blind and deaf then while watching it and then condemn it online or when someone talks about it. When they had a chance to stop it, they did not do anything.

From what I've experienced, old men have been the worst. They are pure disgusting.

I have two incidents, one is not me too rather I think I was wrong and another was a gay driver groping me.

My incident isn't #metoo, rather I think I am the guilty party of not understanding a woman, but that day I learned not to get involved with drunk lady.

We were returning from a picnic and we were sitting in a car, it was quite dark road, my friend(female friend) was trying to set me with her friend, so we were all drunk and my friend told me to take care of the girl as she was too drunk, hesitatingly I did sit near the girl, and since she was having spitting heavily, I gave her my hanky, soon she was sitting to closely with me, and was taking my hands in her hand, I ended up kissing her in the cheek and she also started rubbing my hand, but as soon as we reached the town, when lights were shown, she just pushed me saying she has a boyfriend, I said okay. Than I tried to sit a bit away from her, but than again she let my hands wrap her around the shoulders, and than we were discussing things until I said Dilwale was a crap movie, and she put my arm away saying don't say anything against Shah Rukh. And started pulling my hair and we were all joking and all. It was all fine, I went home.

After 6-7 months I came to know that the girl when she reached my female friends home, my friends' mom started teasing her about me, and than she told them I took her advantage.

I never got to clarify with the girl, as went to Kolkata.

While I know I didn't force her, and once she stopped complimenting me and said ''She has a boyfriend'', I stopped but still what happened earlier has made feel guilty. We were under the influence of alcohol, so may be it was not her consent but the consent of alcohol.

While my best friend, who is the elder daughter of the aunt and elder sister of my friend who was trying to set me with the girl, had said me this girl had also done similar thing in Kolkata when she was drunk and kissed with the guy and later on accused him of forcing her, still I am not sure whether my friend said it a genuine encounter or just to relieve me. The girl has now married her boyfriend, so I am feeling even more anxious on why she said that to them.

Another was when I was in taxi, in Shillong taxi drivers make us double sit in the front sit, so I was near the driver around the gear stick. That guy was trying to feel my penis over the pants while trying to pretend to change gears, at first I thought it was a mistake, but later he carried on, and I just caught his hand and told him this is not gear. When I reached my stop, I just stormed away, without paying him. I was irresponsible though as I didn't report it, although I was just 17 at that time.

A distant uncle tried to touch me when I was only 8 years old. At that time I didn't even understand anything but even kids know when they are in harm. I managed to run away so thankfully nothing major happened. He did this in a house that was full of relatives so imagine how brazen he was. I'm an adult now and still get angry seeing that creep's face at family events.
Every girl I know has stories like this. My best friend was forcibly kissed by her uncle. He would make disgusting comments about her body when she was a teenager.

Btw, all these men pretend to be sanksari and religious and go to temples and show off how pious they are. Men truly are trash. At least 90% of them are garbage.

Whispermist: I CANNOT AGREE MORE WITH YOUR LAST WORDS!!! MEN DISGUST ME TO THE VERY CORE OF MY BEING!


OT: Yep. A # Of tomes. You can't escape any of this when you live in Delhi. What's most disturbing in hindsight, is being 7-8 years old & being CAT CALLED BY GROWN MEN!!! W*F?!!??! Never have I been more disgusted & felt like throwing up. In metros, in public transport, once I was groped by a drunk man on a bike who blocked my path & wouldn't let me go & I was in such a freeze. Not going into details, but I felt so mortified & disgusted. I begun shivering & my friend tells me she's never heard me like that ever. The most disturbing thing also, is being shamed for it most by women!!! My own friend told me, "you aren't that desirable so why are you saying these sort of things.


Every single woman I know has been through this, and most are family members because the vile evil reality is that most predators stem from trust & no-one is more trustworthy than your own family.
