Here is how I got my FICO score to 785 from as low as 430, due to my diabetic condition I got a setback on my payments owing to medical bills, my world started falling apart because I wanted to rent a home and take out some loans and I couldn’t. I kept looking for someone who could help fix my credit to no avail, until May this year when I met Hack West through a friend whom they had worked for. They boosted my credit in 9 days and restored my dignity. I was able to get a loan and pay for a home. You can contact them via HACKWEST@ WRITEME. COM or Whatsapp:+1 424 307 2638.

After readin thru this entire thread, hav cum 2 the conclusion that men r more than rude, 2 many of them r sexual predators! Every woman on earth needs 2 b taught this & told 2 b extremely careful around them, especialy wen alone w/them & not trust them. The fact that women r reviled, called liars & given the 3rd degree wen we do try 2 report these reprehensibl acts, proves that men r ALLOWED 2 get away w/this, even in r “enlightened” 21st century!!!

    I have autism. I don’t stare at people, but I zone out frequently. Well, this one guy decided to make my life a living hell. He called me a stalker, made most of my friends turn against me, and literally made authorities against me so he wouldn’t get in trouble. He would bully me verbally, and I’ve told me to kill myself when I was just reading a damn clock! Ik this prolly isn’t what you are thinking about, but he is a guy, and it was the rudest thing a guy has done to me, especially as I was depressed and my nana died at that time too.

    Thanks for your sympathy. She was one of the best people I knew, but she never took care of herself. She had some trauma with the doctor. Multiple times. My dad found her, and he’s never truly been the same since; seeing your mother dead is traumatizing, so I can’t talk much about Nana’s death or life around him. He shielded us from seeing nana’s body in our house, because he wanted us to have our last sight of her be peaceful. I miss her so much.

    I'm here with you Marina (autistic too). Autistic women are, as a group, far more vulnerable to abuse than neurotypical women because we act differently and are 'othered'. Statistically, we are two to three times as likely to be abused and be the victims of long-term abuse.

Since he was old enuff 2 b my father & part of management I felt safe lettin him in my car. Imediately he put his hand on my thigh! I was shocked since he had daughters my age! I pulled his hand off & started 2 turn my engine on, wen he did it again! This time I let him kno how shocked I was @ his behavior as I pulled his hand off again! I had a very uneasy drive w/him since I was 2 afraid 2 ask him 2 get out of my car, him bein a mgr. @ the place I worked @. Thank heaven he left me alone but I had 2 avoid him @ work ever after that.

    Super cute guy from work asked me out, I was new to the city and happily accepted. He picked me up, we had a great dinner and a couple of drinks (he neglected to tell me that he was in recovery) and then wanted to take me to a party. Okay, why not? Well we hadn’t been there 5 minutes and cutie disappears .. I don’t know a soul, or even where we are, and start looking around for him. Nowhere to be found! MF left me!!! I found out at work on Monday that he went on a huge bender and ended up in jail for stealing some jet skis. Worst night of my life. Probably dodged a huge bullet tho

    I already see submissions that are criminal vs rude, but I'm going to stick with rude. So many examples to choose from, but I'll go with a classic that I suspect many of you will identify with. Buying a car with my husband. We are very interested in one in particular, and while we are both asking many questions the salesman is only answering my husband. Offers him to test drive. Really focused on him. We go in the office to discuss. When we sit down, my husband says "I like the car, but the final decision is up to the CFO here, so you are going to have to negotiate price and financing with her". You could see on the guys face that he knew me messed up.

Mean and women have equal capacity to be creeps, or to be lovely human beings. The salesman was the former in this instance and the husband the later.

    I am a little of a hifi freak, but when an old woman (me) comes into a hifi shop the salespersons tend to think I know nothing, and if he (It is always a he) is condescending, I play along in order I must confess to have the last laugh. It is so much fun to suddenly put a question, that shows I know about the same as him. Sometimes he laughs with me.

    I used to work at a John Deere Dealership and was the mechanic handling all the recall warranty repairs. No particular reason, I was the one randomly selected to do it. It got so I was fast, I could tear down the mower in 15 minutes flat, make the parts swap and have it back together in a little over half an hour. Enter The Guy. The Guy doesn't want a woman touching his mower. Women can't be mechanics, and I'd only mess it up. The Guy actually said that to my face. And he was gonna watch! To make sure I didn't get my lady germs on his manly mower, I guess. Shout out to my boss, who told The Guy he'd personally handle the repair and then had me walk him though the entire process. Boss asked the most inane questions, grabbed the wrong tools, tried to install the part upside down (all this was on purpose.) The Guy stood there a watched for the two hours my boss dragged it out. Coulda' had it in a quarter of the time, but you know, cooties.

    I'm a nurse and I have many male coworkers. They still get called "that male nurse" as if there's only one. It's 2022, grow up and start paying attention! Name tags and ID badges exist! Stop calling everyone in scrubs "nurse" too while you're at it, healthcare teams have many roles. It just makes it harder on the team when we don't know who or what you're talking about because you fail to read or listen. And obviously it goes both ways, if a woman is wearing a name tag or uniform of a certain business don't stupidly ask "hehe do you work here bc it seems you have a vag¡Na teehee" .. dumbass men 😂 I'm sorry for the rant but this thread has me heated.

It is not that I think men are better at being a mechanic, but exactly because of prejudice women usually do not even try. Those who try go against long-past cultural thinking which is awesome to see... and actually inspires us, men, to be better, or at least to catch up. :)

Once, I moved away to a coworkers desk to help her edit a letter and pointed to a sentence on the page and said "Take it off". The male supervisor leered at me and said "Yeah, take it ALL off!" He was fired the next day for sexual harassment. Jack@ss.

After the interview he walked me around the ofice introducin me 2 all the employees. After that he told me that every1 in the ofice met @ a local bar on Fridays rite after work & invited me 2 join them cuz it was Fri. Since I thought I was gettin the job I agreed & made the mistake of gettin in2 his car w/another guy he worked w/. I was sandwiched between the 2 of them on the front seat & was upset that 1 of us cudn’t hav sat in the bac seat since they wer rite on top of me! After we got 2 the bar it turned out not 1 singl other employee showed up! The nxt thing I knew the mgr. was tellin me that it wasn’t a guarantee that I wud get the job since I had accompanied them ther! I was shocked & truly frightened all the way bac 2 their ofice havin the 2 of them rite on top of me again, as I waited for 1 or both of them2 atack me!

    Back in college while on a first date, we ran into my dates best friend. My date placed his hands on my shoulders, turned me so I was directly facing his friend, and said, "So what do you think?" His friend then started to guess my bra size. I am ashamed to say that I was so stunned that I just stood there and said nothing. Needless to say, I never went on a second date with that jerk.

    You should have reached out, taken each of his hands in yours turned them over a couple times and looked him right straight in the eyes and said “I’m sorry, the average is 5.5” long but that’s an average of all different sizes. Some are bigger, (now look down at his crotch area), and, well, some much smaller.”

    A creepy stranger in his 40's came up to me on the street when I was late teens and said I look sexy... I just turned on my heels and ran as fast as I could away from him. Can't help but feel I dodged a bad one there... Guys don't ever tell a woman that she looks sexy unless you are in a relationship with her! It's just wrong on all levels.

    Saying that you look cute, or pretty is fine. Saying you are hot is a bit worse and tread with caution. Saying you are sexy is GET OIT OF TGERE

    My first bf r@ped me and then tried to blame the bad atmosphere on me and making me feel guilty by saying "don't you love me enough to sacrifice that little thing for me?" I promptly said no -and then he didn't speak to me for days! (I lived with him and had nowhere to move away to. So I half-heartedly stayed with him for a month or so afterwards. Not my best choice ever but I was 18 years old and did NOT want to end up on the streets, risking having to stop going to high school). I think that is the rudest thing a person can ever do to another. Rude is a nice way of saying it. 😤 A lighter one: I was an intern at a museum when I was in my early 30s. There was this volunteer that was at the museum each Thursday. He was an elderly man (ca. 75 years old). The first 1-2 months he made it clear that he disliked young girls that didn't know a thing about history while he was looking in my direction (he was talking to another guy at the museum). The old man never said a word to me. UNTIL the day he figured out that I had graduated from the university and had studied religion and history. Suddenly he enjoyed having conversations with me about all sorts of things. At some point he made a comment to me about something that he thought I'd learn or come to terms with by the time I turned 30. "Sir, I'm 32...." oh, the look on that man's face 😁

    At most times the memories of that awful bf doesn't affect me that much. I have seen therapists about him (and other things) and I decided a long time ago that my memories of him should not ruin my life anymore. But every now and then I seem to fall back into all the bad memories and it can feel like my world is breaking apart again. Sometimes I still want to send bad ppl after him to punish him.... but I don't think he is worth risking jail time for. The last picture I saw of him online he was turning gray and wrinkled and ugly in an indescribable way. I think that life itself is punishing him. My victory is that I have a great bf with whom I have 3 amazing and lovely daughters. My girls especially gives me strength on the worst days. :)

    When I was 20, I was sitting on a log by a river in a nature preserve in the European city where I was studying. (I'm not naming the city, because I don't want to slam it.) A guy sat down next to me and started chatting. I made brief pleasantries, but didn't express interest. He walked away for a moment, and I thought, "Good." Next thing you know, he's back with his pants down, stroking himself. He followed me through this wooded area, and it was clear he was thinking it was a good day to rape somebody. I ran for a while, then scrambled up a hill and picked up a large rock. The look on my face must have said, "Dude, you're gonna die," because he gave up and left. So yeah. That was pretty rude. Can't say I've ever done anything like that to a guy.

    Betty White "A friend said to me, “Hey you need to grow a pair. Grow a pair, Bro.” It’s when someone calls you weak, but they associate it with a lack of testicles. Which is weird, because testicles are the most sensitive things in the world. If you suddenly just grew a pair, you’d be a lot more vulnerable. If you want to be tough, you should lose a pair. If you want to be real tough, you should grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding."

    Oh! I have another one. So I got back from my piano lesson and was waiting for my tram to get home. This dude stood next to me, he complimented the colour from my jacket, no biggie. Then he was like "May I kiss you?" He had a very strong accent and my english isn't the best so I wasn't sure what he wanted. After I understood I told him that I have a boyfriend. I don't but in my experience this works the best to get off creepy guys. Not with him. He looked pissed and asked something like "Would you cheat" or "You look cheap." I didn't understand completely and I was starting getting scared bc he didn't accepted my my boyfriend thing. So I stayed silent. He said something like "You want something." I was like nope, I don't. And he was like yes you do. He tried to offer me some cookies but I was creeped out and got off to the next station. I know, kinda harmless. But enough to get me creeped out.

    I was working for a nightclub and one of our regular costumers, who was loved by all the ladies - he was tall and handsome, asked me out for a date. We had a great evening, he was such a gentleman. We had dinner at a fancy restaurant, we laughed a lot, we ran into some of his friends and he introduced me jokingly as his ‘future wife’. I really felt a ‘click’. It was about 22:00 when we were heading home and since it was a Friday, he asked me if I wanted to have some tea or coffee at his place and watch a movie. I said yes and 15 min later I was really comfortable at his couch with my tea & cookie when he was suddenly in front of me, really close to my face, pulled out his d*ck and said: “please suck me!”. I was in total shock, I mean, we didn’t even kiss so I didn’t think I gave him ‘the wrong idea’. The moment he saw my reaction, he started apologizing, but all I wanted is to go home. He drove me home (about 10min) and didn’t stop apologizing, but… WEIRDO! I don’t really get why I got back in his car, luckily nothing happened. He called & texted me multiple times after this ‘incident’, but of course I never called him back, and ignored him whenever he came over to the club (+ obviously warned my girlfriends). It’s really the weirdest twist of a great evening + also the rudest thing a guy has ever done to me.

    My x did that too, but it was second or third date. I wish i hadn't believed his b******t explanation that "all his other gfs loved it" and belittlement/shameing me for "over reacting. I'd be a much less traumatized person. I wound up marrying the a*****e and that was the least of the things he guilt tripped/gasslighted me into doing. After 5 ish years he started complaining about how boring i was, that i needed to learn some new tricks and he didn't care where from. Some times he'd talk about burning our home down. After nearly 7 years he tried to snap my neck. I suspect it was for life insurance to get the new car he wanted. Our daughter was in the room, so i assume he was going to kill her too and burn the house down with us in in. Triple insurance for him and the lady he married a week after the divorce was final. Main reason i think he was after the insurance is how he said he deserved $20,000 in the divorce. So tldr, I'm happy for you that you heeded the red flag. Wish i had too

    Like all women on here, there are sadly too many events to choose from. So, I'll choose a lighter one where I had the best comeback. A few times when a man has hit on me, I've responded 'I have a boyfriend' and they have responded something like 'well where is he', some comment completely dismissing the fact I'm involved, not that it matters. I'm sure a few women have experienced similar issues. On one occasion I had walked into a tobacco shop. I had been there a few times, and every time the cashier would flirt with me or compliment me, and I made it a point to mention my boyfriend casually. The lady time I went in there, he was finishing cashing me out and he asked me "Would you like to meet me after my shift?" I told him 'No, I have a boyfriend'. He then asked 'can I touch you?'. First of, I already declined to meet up, so you think I would be like 'sure no prob.'?!? Anyway, I told him firmly no. He asked why and I said 'I'm not interested and I'm in a relationship.' Then he says with a cheeky grin "Well, I don't see your boyfriend here, so... ' 😡 That's not the first time a guy has responded similarly after being told no, but it was the first time I decided to be bold, and I doubled down. I look him in the eye, and say completely deadpan " Ya know, I you bring up an interesting point. Perhaps I will blow you." Suddenly he's like a deer in headlights and didn't know how to respond. I asked him if that was the response he was expecting, he started to try to roll it back and stutter something but I told him" When someone says no, it's f***ing no. Stop being a pig and treat women with some respect!" And I left. It was awesome!

    Every one in my school was like that. For lack of any thing better to do they'd just crack jokes about how fat, gross, ugly, or smart i was (because for some reason, the troglodite hicks i went to school with though getting good grades and reading as a hobby was a bad bad thing....). That was awful and depressing, but at least i could usually bury my self in a good book and ignore the assholes. What really sucked though was that my dad and stepmom were 100 times worse, could get many layers deeper under my skin,and could beat me and burn my things if i ignored them. I hung out in the barn or pasture or rode my bike to avoid all people till i went as an exchange student. Got an apartment when i got back. But then i met my x. Pinochle of assholedom.

    I think that "crime" and "rudeness" are two different categories. Like "oil" and "water." Once you have crossed the line into "crime," you have left "rudeness" far behind.

    I think rape would be the most unfortunately memorable thing to happen to someone, trumping any other action/words directed against them. Plus...admitting it happened is a powerful step to take. And yes - crossing someone's boundaries (to put it VERY mildly) is rude. That's just me, though.

    I remember this guy I met at a McDonalds as he sat on my table to talk to me. Needed to help to look up some Hockey Club or something (I live in Germany, he spoke none to very rudimentary german so we communicated in english ) He seemed like an okayish guy so I gave him my phone number when he asked. He started to blow up my phone and to flirt and I started to feel uncomfortable very quick. So I told him that I don't wanna exchange texts for 90 percent of my day and I thought he got the message (no pun intended). Well, a few days later he called me "Honey" or something and told me something like "Yes you are. And I really really want you." b******t when I told him he should not call me that. So I blocked him. But there is a second part, hold on. I lost my phone a few weeks ago and got a new one with a new card so the blocking was undone. But I didn't hear from him so I didn't care. I forgot about the whole thing, after a year or so I got a text from an unknown number. Checked his pic and jupp, it was him. Well I kinda hoped he learned bis lesson and we could talk on a distant basis or something. He did not. When I told him I still wasn't interested he acted as if he understood but tried to invite me for a date three hours later (of course I said no) Like my answers didn't even matter to him. And yes I made very clear that I wasn't interested. He didn't care. To top this off he sended me a photo off some random dude with a oversized d**k. Like bizarrely oversized, more the size off an elephant trunk. And he wrote some b******t under this that this guy killed a girl for nothing and such a sad story this was. Noped. The F**k. Out. He's staying blocked now.

    have to laugh at that one - sorry, but some trans guys can be as bad as the real thing ... I remember 10 years back (before the trans crowd became trendy and thus fairly demanding now) I was on a specifically gay app and got the end of a very nasty verbal altercation with a trans man after politely explaining I wasn't interested, shim went off and bashed a few more gay guys until being banned from the site. Women are just as bad as men given the right situations; women get rid of the boobs and then throw hissy fits when the gay guys STILL won't sleep with them - and I won't even start on just how badly straight women treat the male waiters at 'ladies night' male strip-shows after a few drinks!

And yeah, some gay guys won't seep with us, but a lot will because they're attracted to men, and trans guys are men. And we aren't "trendy" or "demanding", we want the same rights as cisgender people... smh really....

    The shop was right next to a home for the mentally challenged and she had a friend from there who would come and sweep the floor for a few dollars sometimes. Sometimes she would say, “This is the only man here” and hand him the phone. He loved to talk and had a grand time. He also told long stories and talked slowly, so win/win, waisted the salesman’s time and gave her friend some extra enjoyment.

    It’s astonishing, the number of men who go around “accidentally” copping a feel. 😡 Or even worse, just outright do it on purpose. One time my husband & I were sitting at a crowded table playing cards with some friends, and I felt someone gently caressing my thigh. I thought it was my husband, so I was just sitting there..until I noticed that he had both of his hands on the table. It was the A-hole sitting on the other side of me!! I didn’t want to start a fight (my husband would’ve punched him) so I quietly & secretly reached under the table and poured my beer right on his crotch. A few minutes later he pretended to spill his own beer on himself, I guess so he could get up from the table without looking like he’d peed himself, because his crotch was soaked with my beer. He left me alone after that

    Do not assume anyone here has not survived brutal assaults simply because they chose to share a less awful life experience. And, yes, those other assaults informed why I felt this to be so traumatic. Please consider before you judge. To answer your direct question: as I mentioned above, I would definitely call him out loudly and put him in his place *now*. But the person I was then found it terrifying and wondered if it could happen again, only with physical violence this time...and from where since I didn't know the guy. But he felt perfectly entitled to do that to a perfect stranger. No respect for me or any boundaries I had. I respect your answer, but different life experiences lead to different reactions. Now? He'd be lucky to have genitals to take home.

    As a Nurse, I could tell you plenty of stories of patients who leered, groped me all over, thought I was there to 'service' them, attacked me physically or verbally but I worked with gareatric patients who have dementia's and other conditions that impare their judgment. It was my Father, upon finding out that I was unable to have children, saying that it was a blessing, because of the gene's from which I was born would not be passed on. He meant both his and my mother, who were long divorced. They both abusive me in their own ways. As well, my Mother had a personality disorder, and my Father has a long history of depression, drug use, and anger issues. I had survived living with them, put myself through nursing school getting Honor Roll grades- undiagnosed with dyslexia. I made it through severe depression, suicide, crippling anxiety and was finally stable on medication for bipolar disorder, none of which my parents help support me. I was in my early twenties at the time, and it hurt. It felt it was being looked down upon. His statement made me feel like who I was as a person was not worthy of giving anything to a child.

If you want to have a child I feel sure you would be an excellent Momma Bear, and there are plenty of children in need of adoption. I know it’s not the same, I’ve walked that road. Just don’t let comments like that stop you. You have a lot to give.

    I know of similar cases in geriatric homes. I'm very sorry you suffered it. It's hard work, and needs to be given more support, and honor, and protection. All too often, no one knows what happens indoors - to the elderly, and to the nurses and caretakers. Regarding the rest of what you shared, I can't digest it properly at the moment, I'm sorry, and I think you are a survivor, and a winner.

    There are children without parents that would love you so much! You can love them just as much as your own flesh and blood, maybe even more since you know they need you so much more than a child born wanted!

    Oh where to begin... From rude staring, to downright rubbing against me in public transport (when you have nowhere to move) but the one that made me feel absolutely filthy was when I was going with my bf (now husband) to a business meeting and the owner of the business came out to greet us. He absolutely checked me out, head to toe to head, not even discreetly. I was disgusted, wasn't even wearing trashy clothes or anything...

    I can so relate with that ... you go out with a group of women that know you are gay and yet there is always that one or two in the group that just can't end the evening without that infamous line: "oh, you only think you are gay because you haven't slept with me yet!" Classic Cringe.

    This is just one experience of many (unfortunately) but here goes. In my early 20s in the late 2000s I was pretty inexperienced with men and kind of naive. I met a good looking guy online and chatted a bit every day for 2 weeks. We talked about a lot of different things, nothing too deep but not only flirty stuff either. Eventually we agreed to meet, at a mall close to my house. I waited outside by the food court in an open outdoor dining area. We hadn't made set plans of what to do, I figured get coffee and chat so I'd already gotten a coffee and sat there chain smoking, as I loved to do back then, while I read a book. I had told him very explicitly that there would be no physical contact on the first meeting in order to eliminate anxiety either way, we both know what to expect. In truth, I'd only been with 1 guy before and wasn't really comfortable with casual sex yet so I wanted to at least meet a guy and be friends first. He of course had agreed and never pressed me in conversation so I stupidly trusted him to respect me. As soon as he arrived to the table and sat down: he says "oh shoot I left my cigarettes in my car" I say "haha that's okay you can bum off me" "Ahh I hate menthols. Walk to my car with me?" I know, I know, I KNOW! I am an idiot. Please remember it was the 2000s, we were a lot more sheltered without the constant missing persons alerts dinging from our pockets. Most of my friends didn't have cell phones at all, let alone smart phones.. information and news was not as readily available. Safety was taken for granted 100x more than today. So I follow him to his car and somehow we end up sitting in the front, I light a cigarette because I'm now especially nervous. I turn to find the button for the window. When I look back he has his d¡ck out, hard as a rock. Just waving it at me like a dog with his lipstick out. He looks me in the eye and I just stare back like wtf. I was frozen. He asks me to give him head, I refuse. He asks for a hand job instead, I refuse. He then grabbed my hand, and put it on his "lipstick", and wrapped his hand over mine and basically forced me to do it. He held my hand there the whole time until he finished. After he finishes he grabs a roll of paper towels from the back to clean up and hands me one. I wondered how often he does this. He asks me where I parked. I pointed. He drove me to my car and said "thanks. you're really fun. I'll hit you up later on yahoo messenger" I got out of his car and into mine, drove straight to my BFFs apartment and waited til she got home. I was honestly so upset I just felt in shock, I threw up, and was slightly scared he might have followed me if had driven home. It was just so weird. So so weird and violating.

    This was in no way your fault. It sounds like you blame yourself and you carry no blame. The fear of what could have happened sounds like it got to you too. Thank you for sharing your story. Just alerting others is so helpful. It’s not your fault that he did that or for not knowing he could have done that or worse. He is the one at fault.

    That's a terrible reason to break up, also sounds like a metaphor he read in some cheesy book and tried to make it apply to his situation. (P. S. It didn't 🙄) Trust me, you don't deserve him. Having different forms of communication can be healthy, if both parties put the effort into learning how the other communicates. This guy wasn't worth dating, hopefully you find/found a better guy (if you still want one of course) and that he treats you right!

Jokes on him; he burned bridges with all mutual friends, i got to keep great people and his ex-roommate is my bestie and fiance.

    When I was 11? 12? Somewhere around that time me and a friend were walking around the neighborhood. This guy (same age) comes up to us, asks us where we’re going. Ok, I tell him we’re headed to a small playground near our houses. He’s on his bike, and decides to follow us. We found this weird, but it got worse when he started pestering us with questions. “Do you like me?” “Do you have a crush on me?” “Where do you live?” We say that no, we don’t like him nor have a crush on him, and we don’t tell him where we live. He’s now demanding information from us. “Tell me where you live.” “I know you have a crush on me.” We’re getting really freaked out at this point so we start walking faster and faster, unfortunately, he’s on a bike, and he starts RUNNING INTO US. Like , bumping his tire against our shins while we’re trying to get away from him. We just keep walking and eventually he leaves, but oh my god. I haven’t felt comfortable around him since and am terrified of running into him on my walks these days.

    Earlier today I was at the grocery store with my dad (I’m fourteen) and as we’re paying, my dad says, “hey Alyra, can you grab the bag?” and I reach for it. The cashier yanks the bag away from me and tries to hand it to my dad, saying, “you’re the man,” to him. I grab the bag from the cashier, my dad finishes paying, and as we walk out, I stomp on the cashier’s foot. Men are monsters.

    This sounds more like the cashier didn't see why a child should carry a bag when there's a grown man who can do it instead. I'm way more worried that a young girl grows up in the mindset of "men are monsters". No they're not. There's good people and bad people of all genders. Hating one does not make you cool or strong, it's a red flag that something is going wrong in your education.

    I completely disagree. Her dad asked HER DIRECTLY to grab the bag, but the cashier overrode the father's stated wishes and command. She had every right to yank it out of the cashier's hand, and the foot stomp was just recompense for the cashier being a douche and saying "you're the man" to the father. Some men are indeed monsters... not all, but far too many, and you can't tell by looking which ones are. So we remain ever vigilant. Die mad.

    Forgot this one from freshman year. I was in Spanish class, our teacher decided to do telephone. I got stuck next to this sophomore who was making my life miserable, I couldn't tell if it was his way of flirting or just being a pain in my butt. Still can't tell and I'm an adult. Anyway, he decided to be an ªss and put his hand on my thigh. I grabbed his wrist and told him to back off. The teacher didn't really care, just said that it was normal teenager stuff. That was not normal in my book.

    I was a sophomore in highschool. I was 15, so the day before my birthday, I had asked this guy, I had a crush on, if he would like to go to our church dance together. He said sure. Fast forward to the Wednesday before the dance. He told me he wouldn't be able to make it. Didn't tell me why, and another friend of mine, who was also going to the dance with one of our friends, said that his excuse was going to a funeral. I almost didn't go, but because I had friends to be with, I went. In the line to give the lady my ticket, another friend of mine told me that he saw the guy I had asked with another girl. I just wish he had told me no in the first place instead of humiliating me at the dance.

We were from different schools but because of a class from our church we had together, he knew I was pissed.

    I think she was from the school he was at. I wanted to confront him but one of friends said it wasn't worth it. Really wasn't honestly. A senior from my school, that was in our church class, knew his dad. If I remember correctly, she said that his dad was going to be ticked since he was in charge of the ROTC for both schools. I can only imagine the punishment. And the Monday after the dance, I basically brought it up to everyone in the class before he walked in. There were a few seniors in the class, one that was in my Spanish 2 class, and he was pissed. I didn't and still don't care if it was petty of me to do it, I have a sassy attitude that would rival a lot of people I know. I even smirked at how uncomfortable he was in the room because of the vibe from everyone.

    Pretend I don't exist as a person, dismiss my opinions and perspective,... Because he sees me only as a possible function (e.g. sex), and not as a separate, autonomous individual with the same value as him. This happens sometimes with men. For example during meetings where we're making important decisions. Also, another thing: Assume I can't do basic things like change a lamp, put my own IKEA furniture together, and so on, and try to force me to accept his "help". I didn't ask for help, and nicely refused on and on. This is tiring, crushing, and insulting. And then the same man stares at my a*s unashamedly whenever I pass by. So rude and disgusting... I have no words. (P.S. no I can't avoid him at the moment, and there's absolutely no sexual or romantic relation between us, I always made that very clear)

Anyway, I've made HR and the upper management aware, and they gave me the all clear to work from home whenever our schedules would clash (especially on days when most of the other colleagues are out), so I can avoid feeling vulnerable with him, for now.

    I used to work at a call center and call people about insurance quotes (It's ok I hated myself too). One day some random old man told me I should be working at a phone sex service instead. I just hung up because I would have been fired for yelling at someone.

    Hubby and i wound up working for a phone survay company. Soul crushing work when you have to be pushy and not listen to the nice ones and get screamed at by the mean ones, but gotta feed your family somehow! It was the only job available. Iirc they needed 25 people and 500+ people applied. Still, there was a job the day before we tried to apply for at a cannery, but the line was out around the parking lot 2 hours before yhe office even opened. My hubby wound up with heat stroke before we got half way there, so we went home. It looked like something out of the great depression. 2008 i think it was?

    I had some weirdo come into my work and ask to see my feet. He also wanted me to put on footie nylons. I told him I could not, as I was on the clock. I think he hit up other girls there, too.

    I pulled up at a self-service gas pump to gas up my classic 1970 Chevy Nova a couple of years ago. A man was also gassing up his car and asked me (a 70 something woman} if I wanted him to show me where the filler inlet for the gas tank was. (For a 1970 Nova, it's behind the rear license plate, which I've known since 1970.)

    Well I was playing soccer for school yesterday (gen z 🙄) and it was the end of the game and I was standing with my friends and the teacher waiting for him to dismiss us. Now this little brat (named Thomas 🤮) kicked the soccer ball at us. (He plays soccer as an out of school sport as-well, has pretty good aim and the place the balls are stored was across the oval from us) and it hit me right in the face. (I have braces and the ball hit my face smashing my cheek into them so my mouth was bleeding I also couldn’t feel my face for a few hours) and I kid you not he walked over and was like “sorry” and practically rolled his eyes and walked off. Now I will NOT take that so when he walked past me on his way to the bus (I was walking the other way) I pushed him and he fell in the puddle then he swore at me but I just smiled at him. ✨✨✨✨

    When I was about nine or so there was a skirt I hadn't worn in a long time and we were going to the grocery store but we were in a hurry. So I put it on but when we had left me and my mom realized it was a little shorter than what was appropriate for my age. Fine whatever it was one trip and we would get rid of it later. About halfway through our shopping trip my mom kind of rushes me away quickly and I see a much older guy creeping behind me. He'd been staring at my short skirt trying to look up it! Jokes on him though cause i had shorts on underneath. We tossed the skirt almost as soon as we got home though.

    Once in fourth grade (I was a baby feminist) me and this boy were talking about whatever ten year olds talk about, and then we started arguing over who’s stronger, boys or girls. He grew up to be a Trump supporter. It’s not the meanest thing a man has done, but it’s the first thing that comes to my mind.

    You guys were both kids though. So obviously little boys think that boys are the best and little girls think that girls are the best. Its because you guys were immature. Both of you. Also just a random thing here.You said that you were a "baby feminist" So you're parents raised you that way. But you were arguing with a boy that girls are stronger (not saying he wasn't arguing back just tryna look at this part rn) Isn't feminism about equality in men and women? Its not your fault either you were being raised to think that or you were just being a kid and so was he.

    Honest answer? We can just start with beauty pageants that he has sponsored for forever. How demeaning. I mean, honestly, imagine a world where men had beauty contests, where they came out greased up and dresses in thongs, spinning a baton and singing a song. Whatever woman would sponsor such a thing would be maybe sick? Demented? A predator? Like, seriously imagine that world and that woman. That’s just one solitary example. I knew when he first started campaigning that it would take a great deal for me to be able to look past that. Add to it him bragging on how easy it is to bag women when you’re rich and “grab her by the pussy”. There’s more, there’s so much more and it’s hard to look past that even if he somehow had the best policies, leadership and ideas. (He didn’t, but that’s beside the point. I’m saying even if he did.)

    Pointedly not looking at me or looking past me. It’s supposedly a sign of respect from Muslim men but I cannot help but feel majorly offended. Multiple Muslim men have not spoken or acknowledged me on any way, since I am not in hijab I suppose. For context, I’m of European descent in a secular country, these interactions were in my place of business and I was the boss. I have been treated decently and respectfully by multiple Muslim men as well. I think it’s just the ultra religious conservatives who behave this way.

    Actually, I'm a Muslim and can confirm that this was to show respect for you. Muslim men are not supposed to look directly at any woman unless they're related to him in a way (wife, mom, aunt..etc) we Muslims believe not looking is best so as to not accidentally make a woman feel uncomfortable. It also shows the high standards women are held up to in Islam. I MEAN A MAN CANT EVEN LOOK AT YOU UNTIL YOU ALLOW HIM TO DO SO! How cool is that??😊

    Thank you for sharing your perspective. I actually attended Mosque in my area for about a year, at the height of all of the hate against Muslims in my area, just to show goodwill and solidarity. I met some truly lovely people, but this was years after the experiences I shared here. So, I had no way to make sense of how absolutely rude these men were being, from my perspective. Like, talking to this guy I hired but refusing to look at or acknowledge me? I’ve made peace with it, we’re not all the same. It still feels demeaning to me, like I don’t deserve to be acknowledged as a human, but I cognitively know that’s not the case. Regardless, I’ve met SO many lovely, kind and engaging Muslim men and women that this cultural “quirk” in a few has become easier to overlook.

    I'm not a fan of religion. At all. That said, it absolutely is a cultural thing. When you say "not all Muslim men" well, yeah. There are different sects with different rules. Like for example; Catholics are not like Protestants. Eye contact is not regarded the same the world over. I teach my students this in my class. In America, eye contact is a sign of respect and attention in the business world. In the streets of a city, you might be looking for a fight. I wouldn't worry about it, personally.

    I'm a Muslim love and believe me... Culture and Islam is VERY different. I'm from Maldives and out culture is that a women should do household chores. no matter what. It is not man's job and it is humiliating for him if he does so. This includes cooking (unless it is as a profession. However, Islam states men ARE REQUIRED TO help their wives with chores. So, yeah it's quite different actually. Hope this helps you get a better idea about it.😊

    We’ll, these men would look to and talk to the guy I hired who knew a tenth of what I did, but would not look at or acknowledge me while I was standing a few feet from them as the boss of my own business. Imagine when two parties are mad at each other and uses a third party to communicate. I understand more now about the culture these few men came from (not just Muslim in general but a subset of that, very conservative), but I have to make a conscious effort not to get immediately furious at this treatment. I still bristle thinking about it even though I know it’s ultimately a miscommunication.

    Hi! I'd just like to point out that Muslim men can speak to you directly without another person. (Just not allowed for them to be alone in a room with you). If they are using a third person to communicate with you feel free to remind them.😉 Islam is all about moderation. Not too much not too less. This is coming from a Muslim woman raised in and living in a 100% Muslim country.

    It's not ultra religious. In fact, in my opinion, this should be considered normal everywhere. It is a sign of modesty and respect after all. Every man that walks by you doesn't need to look at you as if you're a five course meal. As a Muslim your comment came off as very insensitive. Muslims are not all bad. I just wish other religions and cultures could learn to accept us and have respect for our beliefs☹️

It's the boomers from the stone age that are discriminating. You'd have to be a Muslim woman to know just how Islam has held women up in terms of standards.

    When I was 16, I was working in a factory. I was introduced to an older guy who would show me the ropes. He looked me up and down and asked me how old I was. I made some sassy comment about being legal. At that, he grabbed my hand and dragged me to a pile of pallets, pushed my head down and bent me over and humped against me. Everyone else who was there stood around laughing and egging him on. Once he finished his show I just had to get on with my shift. Spoke to a friend earlier and she said I encouraged him by saying I was ‘legal’. This still sits badly with me almost 30 years later.

    My ex stalked me and was generally creepy post breakup. He did some gross things (usimg my credentials to send students at my uni links to revenge things he posted via my email, doxing me, posting a sex tape I didn't know about, telling my friends about how I had been assaulted in detail, threatening me, my friends and my dog... just the worst etc) Anyway, one day he was drunk, he came to my campus (he wasn't a student), wandered around until he found me (in a computer lab I never go to)... demanded I go home with him. I refused because wtf I'm not going to be summoned for a booty call. I told him he was drunk and asked him to leave. He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me up, started running his other hand on me and i tried to shove him. He ripped my shirt and called me a wh**e. I was crying and trying to stop him. He shoved me into the ground and threw my stuff (laptop included) on the floor. He did this in front of like 5 guys... most of which looked over awkwardly and none of which offered to help. I was so embarrassed and felt so very alone. For me... it was like he reached into my safe space to make sure I knew I wasn't safe anywhere. I was 18 he was 26. We had dated 4months. He stalked me for 3yrs.

    Ok so there's this guy at my school who's my age (fourteen) and all my friends know him because he's always staring at their boobs (one friend counted something like 30 glances in a minute when she secretly videoed him to catch him being a perv) We used to do an out-of-school activity in primary school but I hadn't really seen him or been friends with him until a few months back when we ended up on this leadership team together. He started waving at me in the hallways in between classes and sorta decided we were friends. The waving became a friendly caress of the shoulder, which was really weird but the last straw was when he flicked a lot of hair and sorta stroked the back of my neck. I go out of my way to avoid him and haven't said a word to him since. I'm still quite young so I'm sure there's plenty more to come in the future :(

(This time I actually hit back several times. And I'm not ashamed to admid it. Not one bit!!) Someone came to break up the "fight" and he left very silently.

    I was in my mid-thirties spending a week in NYC at a hotel just a block from Central Park. I was late getting downtown to a popular play so decided to get a cab (faster)by walking the block to stand in front of the very posh hotel adjacent to Central Park - I was waiting when the red-coated attendant ushered me to a car - I was feeling fairly young and quite special only to find that the car wasn't a cab but a limo- and I was asked to get in the back seat with the aged, wrinkled hand belonging to an aging man who wanted the company of a female. I should be used to this - (being a black woman standing too close a curb suggests a lot of ugly things to white men) but I'm not. I turned to the red-coated attendant told him "f**k you - pimp" What shocked me even more than being propositioned was the attendant's amazement at my response "What kind of lady speaks like that?" he said. (What kind man pimps for the rich?) To this day I still see this response as part of the patriarchal hold on the old lashes of control - Shocked at women bold enough to fight back - even verbally.

    I worked as an independent contractor for a DISH NET Satellite franchise. We traveled to a new county to set up new contracts/ door to door sell satellite service. We stayed in a hotel , the girls shared rooms and the guys shared rooms. I was not into partying and went to my room and climbed into bed. A little while later one of the guys came into the room and crawled into bed next to me. He suggested a little romp. I reminded him that I was married and he stated that it was ok he was engaged. It was just a little fun. I told him he had 3 seconds to get out of my bed or I'd be permanently changing his gender for him. He did. I got up and went to the other room where the boss was. I noticed a number of looks from the other guys and I gave them an absolutely evil grin. I was older than any of them and I wasn't going to deal with any of their sh*t. That guy eventually came back in saw, me gave me wide berth and mumbled something about falling asleep in a bathtub. Boss man gave zero effs as he was just as messed up as the rest. I didn't stay there much longer.

    No, I wish I could.. but had no idea how to contact her. That whole place was the very definition of toxic work places. The boss didn't do anything because we were "Independent Contractors" and thus not his employees. Every week, we would have to sit down with his wife and justify our paycheck. Everything about it was demeaning. I am so glad to have gotten out.

    Years ago, I had a boss (a restaurant manager) who had moved to the U.S. from Russia or another Eastern European country. He was standing next to me while I was kneeling to get something out of a cabinet and said, "Do a friend a favor!" I guess the thought of forcing someone to perform oral sex on him was hilarious.

    When I was 16, one man tried to "help" me do my job, and ended up causing me to badly sprain my ankle. I had to take 2 weeks off work, so I could heal. Part of my job was bringing in shopping carts, and many men tried to "help", but I was usually able to stop them by telling them it wasn't okay. This guy insisted, and ended up slamming the carts into the door I was bringing them in, and pushing my foot under the carts. Twisted so bad I had to go to the ER.

    My personal favorites: 1. My immediate supervisor telling me that "I should be at home taking care of my husband. Women don't need to work." 2. My husband's "friend" telling him to "check your wife" because my friends and I were laughing and telling "off color" jokes and he felt that I was acting improperly. My husband told him to mind his own business and gave him "the look". 3. Being leered at by a new co-worker who was making comments until he saw me lift a 100# bag of bran with one hand, slash it open with my knife and dump it in the barrel. He went pale. 4. While driving a tow motor and trailer on a casino floor full of patrons: "men" telling my team who were doing crowd control to get me "off of there before I hurt someone!" They shut up when I backed it down a 50 ft. row of slot machines to the door of the destination and started off-loading stacks of coin cans full of quarters. While my "guys" stood guard for me. BTW, I received a badge tag as a "Safe Driver" for never hurting anyone nor damaging property (unlike many of my guys!) I miss those days...

Leers at girls. He did that to my daughter who’s only 13. She then understood what I meant when I told her about pedos, pervs, creeps, etc.

    big p3d0ph1l1@ tw for this story! You have been warned. (Note that I am a trans man have ADHD, and am autistic.) My old math teacher, around 60, maybe older, was terrible. While we were working, he would slowly walk around, skipping the boys and not even looking at our work, just looking at us. He would put his hands on our shoulders and instead of just talking to us, he would whisper in our ears. It was terrifying. One day I had had enough, and I looked him straight in the eye and flipped him off. It felt awesome. Of course, I was the one sent to detention. (The next year, he was fired and I transferred to a much better school. I still have nightmares about him though.)

    I'm ignoring anything with creepy undertones or sexual assault related things... something only rude... I would have to say a jerk customer who came into a furniture store I worked at. He kept snapping at me. Literally snapping no matter where he was in the store and shouting "Girl!!". Now... I was like... 22, but... I tried to remain very polite and told him multiple times what my name was. Also... there was no language barrier he just was that sexist. So after some time dealing this this... he grabbed a display and wanted it, I told him he couldn't have it as it is a display. We went back and forth for a minute or two where he was insistant that I would make it happen but I refused to back down. So finally he got annoyed and demanded to speak to "a man". I clarified "a manager?" "Is the manager a man? Get me a man, I'm tired of this female nonsense. " So I went into the back... ignored the managers (ironically one was a guy) and instead grabbed the brand new guy working his first shift. I fed him word for word what to say to the 'gentleman'... he went out, told the customer we weren't giving him the display-- the customer said "okay, I trust you." And backed down immediately. The coworker gave me a "why did you need me" look before going back to his video training. The customer then went back to his shouting and snapping around the store for another 10minutes before leaving with nothing. ... the last thing I'll add is the entire time he was walking around WITH HIS WIFE!! She said nothing but didn't even look embarrassed so he must do this alot.

    I have too many times to count, but one time I was working at a start-up in Colorado with all older men. Gross to begin with. We had a celebratory dinner at a nice restaurant and I was accosted by my boss in the bathroom. He was super drunk and I was blamed for wearing inappropriate clothing at working and “provoking” the male superiors. By the way, I was wearing banana republic clothes with bras on. Super professional clothing in my opinion. Since there was no HR, I was suspended with pay for a month. I was so traumatized I spent a month in the mountains trying to deal with what happened and questioning why. This douche RAPED me in a bathroom and got away with it. I moved out of the country and never looked back.

    I realise that this must sound like preaching to the choir but there is something seriously FkdUp with society that this type of behaviour is not only not punished for the violation it is but that the victim is further traumatised by being blamed for "bringing it on/provoking" the attack. I hope that you are in a much better place now (emotionally, mentally, physically) although I'm not even sure how someone could ever fully recover from that- I do hope you (and all the other women who have been abused) have that strength

    Stared at my boobs, and made really perverse jokes, luckily he told me that he was sorry but I didn’t accept his apology because I just felt like he deserves a slap in the face. Nowadays I like to wear clothes that are a few sizes too big for me because I prefer comfort over people staring at my boobs. But nowadays I mostly identify as a male, despite the fact that I’m busty, I hate that I was born a female, I hate anything girly, and I hate that people don’t respect the fact that I prefer to be called Charlie instead of my birth name; which I consider my dead name.

    The real crime is the "everyday" misogyny. If I was sitting at a table and talking about something, my father would interrupt me to talk about something himself, in this way that totally dismissed me, like I wasn't there. Like what I was saying didn't matter. And maybe it didn't. But no one interrupts him when he talks. He'd be livid. But there would be a table full of people and no one would call him out on it and THAT was the bigger problem. There are times when you're in public and if you're in a circle of people, guys have this way of diminishing you because they're taller, but they won't look at you or acknowledge your presence. There was this great scene in The Good Wife where the female lawyer and the male lawyer were interviewing for a shared assistant. Every time the female lawyer asked an interview question, the female applicant would answer while looking at the guy. And it's because she assumed he'd make the hiring decision. And while that c**p is annoying, it's the guy not saying anything about it that is the real problem. He wouldn't say, "why are you directing your answers to me when she's asking you the question?" And that was a great example of what I mean. Of course we can stand up for ourselves but when we do, we're bitches and overdramatic. We don't need you to start a fight; just an acknowledgement of the sh!t you see when it happens. Don't wait until we go home and be like, "oh yeah that guy was being such a jerk." Well...why wouldn't you say something, why did I have to keep my mouth shut because I knew if I said something, I'd be on the ledge alone? If guys knew other guys were going to think less of them or call them out on it, they would be a lot less apt to do it. There are so many great guys out there, and sometimes it feels like women are just bashing men all the time. Or trying to 'fix' them because they are the only problem- which isn't true. But the one universal thing I've found in my life is that a man will not stand up in a crowd to point out misogyny when it happens out of fear of looking weak to other men.

    Not true. I have many times stood up in a crowd when someone was being discriminated against. I once told an interviewee he would not fit in with our company because he kept referring to people of a certain nationality rudely. I have seen lots of men do the same type of thing. The problem isn't men not saying anything, because sometimes we don't notice it, because we are thinking something else entirely. We should not be responsible for another human being being rude to you. The person being rude is the problem, and you being afraid to stand up for yourself, WHATEVER the reason, is the second problem.

    I think you missed some of the point. Like I said in my post, I have no problem standing up for myself and would and do. The point is...while maybe you are in the minority... MOST men in my experience won't stand up in a group of their friends or other men *when they see* something misogynistic happening. Congrats on being in the 2% of guys who do but I think the point is that 98% still don't. It's not about being responsible or being bothered. It's not a bother to me. I want to say something when I see it because more people should. If I was at a table with a black stranger and one of my own friends started making black jokes- I'd rethink my friendship with that person or at least have enough balls to say something to them out loud because, even though that guy can stand up for himself, there's a relief when you don't have to feel like no one else cares about this horrible thing that just happened right in front of them and none of them said anything. There's something to be said about not having to be alone in the crowd.

I just looked and walked away. Also, I am sure he thought I was a pre-teen. I have looked younger than I am most of my life.

    The absolute rudest thing came when I was in my mid 20s...when dating websites were in their infancy. Started talking to a guy who seemed okay. After about a month of talking, we decided to meet up at a bar. We talked, drank and over all just vibed. Planned on meeting up again the following weekend. Kept emailing, texting and talking until midweek. He sent me an email that detailed everything he wanted to do to me when we met up again. Closing the email with, "We'll just have to keep it quiet. You're too fat for anyone to know I'm interested in you".

    Umm, that's straight up assault. Not that it justifies it in any way, but suspect he'd grown up seeing his father do that to his mother

    I was sitting down eating in a public park and watching some video on YouTube. A man in his 50-60ties came up with a professional camera and just took pictures of me while I wasn't looking... I noticed, looked up, made eye contact and was too baffled to do anything and he just walked away without a word.

    Not a woman but a Demi girl but this guy was like “shut up you don’t know what you’re talking about. You don’t get to be in this conversation.” (We were talking about our houses. And he wasn’t in this convo)

    Asked if I was single, multiple times, called himself hot, in front of me, multiple times, slapped my Butt. Multiple times. Called my sister hot. Guess what! Multiple times. It got to the point where the school jerk (beside said SA) said “listen if he does this again tell me and I’ll make him stop” turns out he’s not too much of a jerk, just a sweetie, did scare the living daylights out of my SA tho, stopped after that, now my SA can’t look me in the eye. (Just a heads up, SA means s.e.x.u.a.l assaul.t) (Sorry, it was censored)

    Was that meant to be assailant rather than assault? Maybe just talk to the guy, no expectations, no assumptions. He sounds like he's a good friend and he's one of the only ones in this list who has actually stood up for the one being abused/assaulted.

    Yeah I meant assailant 😅 sorry I wasn’t thinking straight, it was 6:30 I’m the morning lol and thanks for the advice! I might try it if I get the guts to do it and when he’s not hanging out with his friends 🙂

    The guy that scared the living daylights out of my SA, he turned out to be a really nice guy and I’m kinda crushing on him now… any advice? He’s helped me get though this and I will never find a way to properly thank him. Nor tell him I like him…

    Already posted but here’s another one. I was just starting my period and was about to leak through my pad. I asked my MALE teacher (who had a wife and a daughter) to go use the restroom, he said no. I told him discreetly that it was a female issue and he still said no. Took my pad out of my pocket and showed him yet again discreetly, he said no again. I held up my pad for everyone to see, and said “I’m about to BLEED on to your floors, would you like that? No didn’t think so. Let. Me. Go.” To which he responded with “no. I know you can hold it in, otherwise you’d have your period all month every month.” And proceeded to mansplain what a period is even though I’ve been having my period for years by then. I walked out and reported him. This was also the same teacher that hid my stuff while I wasn’t there so long that I had a panic attack, farted in my face while I was sitting down, and followed my (female) friend of mine into the building, (his class was on the other side of campus because ehe had the elementary school kids too) and proceeded to follow her to the lady’s restroom

    Yes, because you can hold your period in just like your pee. I'm amazed that this incel had the knowledge to procreate let alone be a teacher, paedophile and a/hole.

    I had taken my car to a mechanic where my brother-in-law worked. The next day I got the call that it was fixed and I could come drive it to make sure I was satisfied. My b-i-l went with me as I drove it... I reached out to adjust the mirror and he cupped my breast in his hand. I quickly lowered my arm, knocking his hand away, and was lucky I didn't jerk the steering wheel and cause an accident. Over the years he has tried touching me many times (walking up behind me and putting his hands on my waist, following me up steps and grabbing my a*s). I told my husband eventually and he confronted him, but the touching still happens occasionally.... I have never said anything about it to my sister.

    Definitely say something to your sister. If he's doing it to you, he's probably doing it to others

    She's had others tell her about his behavior and he's always talked his way out of it. Her and I already have a very strained relationship and I seriously doubt she would believe me.

    CAN I GOTTA STORY TO TELL!!! It was in my 7th grade year and I had a PE teacher who would mispronounce my name (The name is Angeline (pronounced: Angelene but she said it as AngeLINE) Now my name is not English; it is Italian-Greek. Me and my mother gave a extremely nasty e-mail to the teacher and the next day she held my by my shoulders, put her face uncomfortably close to my were I could mess her lunch and said that the reason why she wouldn’t give up on the joke was because I always looks “depressed” when that was the time when I was suicidal or at least had very nasty thoughts. I told her that if you gave up on it, I wouldn’t look so sad. After that she preceded to cause more drama that is less important basically making it borderline bullying and rude. I have her again for the second semester in my 8th grade year (now) and my depression is 100% gone and I know now how to set borders. The teacher is very rude making snarky remarks.

    Edit (didn’t have enough space): It is the second weeks of school and she is already borderline bullying one of my best friends so she has a trend going on. The thing is the friend is worse that what I was. I about ready to e-mail the district about it to get her in trouble or even fired. *has a evil look*

    In 10th grade, my boyfriend at the time held me down and gave me a hicky on a visible place in my neck. I was definitely not ok with it and was definitely trying to push him away. I was so embarrassed, but now I realize it was sexual assault. The next day at school, a female teacher told me that she “would have me benched” if she was my coach. This was in the 90s. I was so shy… I wish I would have stood up for myself.
