6. All women can imagine it

All women can imagine it because we walk through our lives in almost constant fear of possible attacks, insults, etc. for just being who we are. From junior high on up, I have had unwanted touching, remarks, you name it. In the workplace as an adult, being sexually harassed. One time my boyfriend's best friend attacked me. Just a few of life's indignities I have had to endure. So, yeah, I think I can not only image but relive this woman's terror on that night when she was only 15 freaking years old.
