57. How old are you?

How have you managed to turn this basic commentary on one aspect of rape culture (which yes we all know you consider it trivial and unimportant, hence your treatises on this thread) into a lesson on how hard your life has been? How is this now all about you?

I could tell you stories about my childhood and teen years and adult years that would fucking haunt you, but guess why I don't? Because it has no fucking hearing on this fucking thread.

What happens to girls and women simply for being female and out in public is fucking wrong and nobody needs to clear it with every tom dick or harry with a sob story who thinks that their experiences somehow justify telling women to suck it up because you had it worse.

Fucking hell.

Call me a bad person if it makes you feel better. I fucking deplore the self-centered, self-pitying attitude you brought to this thread.
