What in the hell is up with all the sexual harassment in the media?
So and so did this and some random man in power did that. Like damn, I am not saying we shouldn't treat each other with respect but it doesn't compute. When does the line get crossed? I ask if I can kiss or touch someone and I am told, don't do that, it kills the moment. How else are you suppose to get consent? You go straight for the lulz and its sexual harassment five years later when you have massive amounts of money. If these people felt abused, why not report it then? Or better yet have documented stress it caused you. I lost my mind after a bad encounter when I was 20 and now frankly none of it matters to me since, Bi? Gay? S&M? Hell why not. Plus I get the whole, I was too stressed to report but that literally does not compute when some of these people are barely touched through clothing. I guess maybe I am just immune to all forms of sexuality now but why would that emotionally scar someone for decades? Particularly an adult who has been around a few times. Ironically just long enough for some of these offender to get successful. I have been touched though clothing and thought nothing of it after a few days.
my fiance sexually assaulted me in the 80's. i never reported it. women are often blamed for their own abuse or not believed. one of my patients was sexually abused by a doctor. she, too, was afraid to report though i encouraged her to.
