Someone just told my not a daughter that it's her fault if men follow her on the street for going to the gym at 9pm.
75%. In case you were wondering. 75% of women have reported being followed by a stranger.
The latest Opinions and Lifestyle Survey (OPN) data showed that in the previous 12 months, 27% of women and 16% of men had experienced at least one form of harassment. One in two (50%) women aged 16 to 34 years had experienced at least one form of harassment; a decrease from 58% in June 2021.
Catcalling happens to most women between the ages of 11 and 17.
In a paper on criminology, one third of women experienced being followed by a stranger that caused them serious concern for their safety.
Among people who responded to surveys, 63% said a man had deliberately stepped out in front of them and blocked their path.
These women aren't 'seeking attention'. They are seeking to live fucking independent lives. And for once buddy? it IS all men. Because any one of us can walk in the same direction as a woman while she checks the lights and exit points because SHE DOES NOT KNOW if we are just walking.
Or stalking.
That's the REALITY, gym bunny dude.
