Why Girls Today Think Sexual Harassment Is Normal Stuff

[Demeter]

1. It's not as if girls have options, here

When facing sexual harassment, what's a girl to do? And I'm talking GIRL, as in, under 21. Although the situation doesn't really improve until a woman hits 40 and becomes invisible.

Talk to parents? And what can the parents do?

Talk to the school? As if schools are going to do anything.

Talk to the police? No way, Jose.

Talk to the minister or priest? That's asking for worse trouble. Too many predators in that pile.

The only survival-oriented response is to ignore it and walk away. One's speed of exit depends on the level of threat one senses.

Also, avoid situations of being without support, another girl or boy or adult. At least, there will be witnesses.
