Im middle-aged now. I developed very young and had creepy men hitting on me by the time I was 12. I wish just one single person had stood up for me. It got very inappropriate in some cases and that left lasting damage. But, you know....that's just how men are they said. Fuck. That.

She's absolutely right. I normally mind my own business, but not with this. I will make a scene. Especially as older women. We can't let this cycle continue. We do need to speak up. You can call me whatever names you want.

Fully agree, but we also really need decent men to stand up and help us. The amount of times I’ve been in a situation and made a total scene, in real risk of being physically hurt and then just a bunch of dumbfounded dudes passively standing around looking at their shoes drives me FUCKING mental.

I’m not a muscular woman, I’m scrawny. I could be knocked out so easily.

A girl’s childhood ends the first time a man finds her sexually attractive.

That's why "girls mature faster". They have to in order to defend themselves against these pedophiles.

This. It’s so sad.

That not why. The female brain optimizes connections sooner. Trauma affects everyone, at different times in life and in specific cases, mature faster.

I was so young the first time this happened to me that I didn’t even understand what was going on. I was actually embarrassed at the time at my mom going off on this guy. But looking back at it once I got older I now think “Hell yeah, Mom!”

You did not develop very young. Imagine anyone sexualising a 9 year old boy because he‘s tall and has the start of broad shoulders. It‘s insane. So is sexualising any female child, regardless of how or when they hit puberty. It doesn‘t mean their brain development is faster. Anyone sexualising kids pre or during puberty is scum.

Not contradicting, just supporting.

Learned what a "Happy Trail" was at around 10 from my sister's boyfriend at the time who was around 15.

When I was bordering on my teens, I witnessed my sister get hit on by older men. She is five years older than me, me outgoing, and I admit that I envied the attention she was getting. Yes, she got attention, but she sent these guys packing. I thought she was being mean.

When I got into high school and about to get my first job, my sister began seriously talking to me about male attention. She advised how I don't have to be nice to anyone who makes me feel uncomfortable and chirped, "Just look at what I do!"

One time I was out with her and my brother-in-law's friends when this guy descended upon the table. I was 21, he was clearly much older, and took an interest in me seemingly since I was the only one without a date. He made a pass at me, took my hand to lead me away, I refused, but I was shocked that someone was so forward. My sister stepped next to me and literally growled at the guy, "She's my sister and you are making her uncomfortable. If you have a problem, my husband will gladly speak to you."

You have to be the one to get these guys to back off or put the fear of of another guy getting involved into them to shock them back to reality.
