I am too. I feel like if I didn't have that support system, I still would have been fine but it would have taken me a bit longer.

And I totally agree with that. It is incidents like this that show us who strong we are and how much power we have to persevere.

Please don't apologize, in situations like this all is allowed.

Our strength isn't the kind that men (stereotyping here) will acknowledge. Ours is the kind that builds worlds. It is the strength we lend to other people that make us strong, and that they give to us.

And that's not even the end of it.

Gurleen I believe thats your name.Yw - I couldn't agree more. That's the most important take away .. Make peace with yourself and things will fall in place.

Im so incredibly sorry you faced any sexual harrasment. Mot just you but im sorry for all the girls and even some men who are harrased and assaulted in even todaya day and age. Its disgusting and shameful that even in the 21st century some so called humans act like animals. And ita funny because even animal groupa are loyal and decent to their kind. So knowing humams cant be human beings to other human beings is a pure disgrace.

There is immense beauty in that strength but immense sadness to. We aren't acknowledged for our individual strengths, but for the strengths that we lend to the community. It falls into the old ideology that women are not individuals; they are a part of something. A community, a society, a domestic sphere etc. We are never an individual identity but rather always dependent on others and are only considered important for the essentials and services that we can provide to others.

I see what you're saying and I agree with it, we are more than just our services, and that's what I meant by the last sentence. We have all kinds of strength and that's what tends to get overshadowed I think.

I really appreciate the love, strength and support you are sending my way. It truly means a lot. <3

It's shocking that these incidents still occur and that we still have to fight for our right to be considered as human beings. It is truly sad and depressing and breaks one's spirit. But then you do have people out there that do value the life of a human being and even the individuality of a person.

To be honest, I was in a moment of shock. I initially hadn't wanted to believe that such a thing was happening to me at all. But as it was occurring, it was a slow realization for me that whatever's happening is WRONG and it needs to be stopped NOW. So I eventually did tell him to stop, but upon reflection I could have reacted much more quickly.

Im glad you said no and i completely understand not knowinf how to react and what to do. You were in shock and i completely understand. mentally psychologically emotionally and physically wish you are doing okay. Carry pepper spray or mace girl!

It's sickening that there are people like this in the world, who act inhumanely and believe they can violate others. In this case, men, unfortunately there are many men who have such sexist and disgusting mindsets who think they have the right to do anything they want to women. You are strong to react, no matter when you reacted. It's hard to react in such cases, (i feel so as well), because of the initial disbelief, shock, and horror. And it is important to remember you are not at fault at all, and you are not less or marked by this.I say this, because whichever case or degree of such an incident, I think we women inherently have a piece of us that feels like that unconsciously, even though we know it's not true.
