I am so tired of these kinds of topics. Are we ever going to finish with all this?? I went out 2 times that day. I had to go to a friend’s house, so I called a Taxi. When we arrived there, I paid the Taxi driver, I gave him more money than what I … Continued
I am now retired. I can count more than 20 incidents of sexual aggression in my life. They left me terrified and disempowered. It has effected my life. For some reason I was always unable to tell anyone. Now I begin to feel that shame falling away. The disgust, the isolation, the revulsion, maybe now … Continued
On my very first day of living in Sacramento, a man drove up behind me while I was pumping gas and kept yelling something inaudible at me. I ignored him for several minutes but he was persistent and started to get angry at me. So I turned around and pretended like I had no idea … Continued
