(27,630 posts)Teenage boys were the absolute worst regarding grabbing or pinching my ass, or even grabbing my boob as they walked by in the hallway (in mostly the 8th grade, at school.)
My older sister's husband walked in on me while I was taking a bath. He drew the shower curtain away, stared at my naked 14 or 15 year old body for about 10 seconds, then left the room.
At age 17, my other older sister's husband said I was hot and my sister repeated it to me. Why did she tell me, I wonder?
Nobody ever molested me, I am lucky to say. But I have had more than my fair share of sexual harrassment, daily, just for being a 25-ish blond woman in the Mission District in San Francisco. Yes it's true, some cultures do more catcalling than others.
But the worst sexual harrassment, in general, was whenever I walked down the side of the road. It was men of all range of ages.
But have I ever gotten groped, unwantedly? Probably 20 to 50 times in my life.
