There is an excellent series of books called the Female Fear written about this subject.

I read the link and the comments, and I feel saddened.

I broke down crying while reading this. Got my Huge boobs at age 11, no idea how to cope, now 71, got boobs reduced last year & wear white hair...unbelievable relief probably 80% of the time....guess to be treated like a PERSON I will need to be dead.

Women and girls are not safe in America and it's worse around the world. Thank you for posting this excellent article. Each sentence resonated deeply.

Since age 15 when I developed breasts, I have been grabbed, stalked by two men, kissed against my will, catcalled, assaulted and continually sexually harassed by men. Fucking predators.

"You look like a victim," a man said recently. I was horrified. "I don't feel like a victim!" I replied. "I dress modestly, walk fast with good posture, scanning for men with my head high. I never look in my purse or at my phone while walking."

"You are thin," he replied. "You look easy to grab." This chilled me to my core.

At two different jobs (YMCA and an insurance office), my male supervisor cornered me alone in the office and tried to rape me. Both men overpowered me with their weight and height. They pinned me against a wall by my neck. When they let go with one hand to loosen their belt, I broke free and ran.

My "luck" ran out when I was raped in 2007.

Two years later, my 19-year-old daughter was brutally raped and beaten by a strange man. Claire was sleeping in her bed at college when he attacked. After years of therapy, Claire, 29, still wakes up screaming. Claire and I both have PTSD.

I could go on, but writing this makes me feel anxious.

My life is constricted due to men. I never shop at night. Never park next to a van. Ask people to walk me to my car. Never hike alone. Keep my home and car doors locked. Never go to bars.

Men devour me with their eyes because I am slender and fit. It's frightening.

But what REALLY tics me off is the criticism from other women when I call out a bully or misogynist!! Fuck me running when they make an excuse for some s.o.b. that bullies old women or a disabled person.
I have one person in mind that used to live in this apartment complex (he died last year). He picked on a man with epilepsy, an old woman beginning to show signs of dementia, etc. He made the mistake of trying to tell me what the bible says about women's roles.
Several women around here stick up for him, make excuses cause hallelujah he found jesus.
I see it all the time, roy moore, trump, etc. it is disgusting and I have NO respect for these ignorant women.

For some of us men who were taught to treat women with full dignity and respect, it really is hard to imagine how vile some men can be toward women. Yet, all of us can't help noticing a women who is well endowed physically. And we do have sexual thoughts about some women. After I passed my age of raging hormones, I have always found that the women I admire and to whom I am attracted are those who are intelligent, perceptive, caring, yet assertive. But, I have always known to keep my mouth shut about aggressively stating my attraction to them. I hav also never allowed myself to get involved with a women in my workplaces or made sexual advances toward any of them.
