Isn’t it strange how every woman knows someone who’s been sexually harassed but no man seem to know any harasser?

    That’s one of the things that bothers me. It’s so normalized, I probably have witnessed some form of abuse, but didn’t even recognize it as such.

      There is no question that you have, and probably will again, but making yourself aware of what it looks like and being willing to speak up or step in is the only way to counter that (and is intimately more effective than trying to cling to “not all men” like so many others).

        Yeah. It took me a while (too long, tbh) to realize that not being an active part of the problem wasn’t enough. I need to watch for it, and call people out.

        Hell, everyone does. We know better. There’s just no excuse for letting it continue.
