(4,915 posts)And are there women that might make claims to hurt someone? I'm sure there might be. But I'm going to continue to live my life with the assumption that those are pretty far and few between. That when a woman tells me that something makes her uncomfortable, I'm going to listen, believe her, and not tell her that she is wrong about that and that it is OK that that guy touched her. I'm not going to dismiss it. I'm not going to make it OK for others to dismiss it either so that we get more of that "culture of silence" that the article in the OP talks about.
I also don't feel I need to hold all women to a timeline that makes me feel better about things. If a woman wants to talk about her reality right now, then that is a good time for her to talk about it. If she wants to do it X days from now, that's a good time, too.
