In summer me and my friend (we are both 16) were at a meal out with her parents and the topic of sexual assault came up n me her mumbled severely played down, glossed over versions of several incidents ranging from being boned by strangers on trains while despite being a minor people did nothing to guys phsically putting there hands inside our pants through our school skirts as they pass us in a shop in the middle of the day, talking about it felt weird but simulatiusly empowering and embarrassing as these are incidents we’ve only joked about in the past – asif they were nothing. Her dad turned to us and said ‘why don’t you just punch them’, men (sorry for the generalisation) need to understand that every time this happens you feel dirty, embarrassed shocked abd paralysed with fear you can barely walk away no matter punch the guy.
