It is just sad to see people use the victim card for every unjustifiable behavior. It may have triggered her but then she would have had the clarity of saying I know you did not mean it, it is only because something bad happened, I get triggered by such things. End of story. No need to throw a hissy fit.
P.S. I am myself a victim of sexual molestation as young as 8 years old, then in my pre-teens one grocery boy tried to grope me as I walked down the stairs not realizing his intentions but as with other kids 25 years back did not dare to tell my mother as I felt I would be blamed. I did walk into that uncle's house whose niece was my friend because he showed me a bag full of chocolates.
The result down the years is that I dont wear sarees at all because I fear that someone would touch me on my neck or stomach and I may get triggered. I avoid shared rickshaws and do not like to be touched unless I know you are about to touch me but if you did unknowingly I will not throw a hissy fit and accuse you of something I know you did not intend to do.
Sorry for the long post, these victim stories are too much. You cannot enter a show like this and talk about being triggered because of incidents. People who are victimized actively avoid the people, places, situations and circumstances they were victimized in or could trigger them.
