64. You speak how I feel.

I was sexually abused throughout my life by many men ( including my father for years ) but I Still know all are not bad.

I am lucky that I do not suffer from panic attacks or have issues being touched. Well, the only area I dislike being touched are my ears but that is because I had so many ear infections while a child and having the damn doctor stick that damn thing in my ear and asking if that hurt.

I realize that there may be truth in this case with Franken and others ( including both Democrats and Republicans ) and there are also wrong accusations ( also on both sides. )

There are those who do it not realizing they are doing it, those who do it on purpose, those who will stop when asked despite it was intended or not, and those who will not stop who do it unintended or not.

You just need to use common sense and realize the difference and be able to know which type is a big problem and could put you or other women and men in danger and need to actually be reported.

Humans get caught up in the moment sometimes and do not think and that also needs to be taken into consideration.

Thank you for bringing this up because I have been scared to state it myself because I actually sometimes feel I am the only one who feels this way.
