    Fuck these misogynistic pigs, idiots like these need to be called out more often. It’s too bad she couldn’t give names out and completely humiliate and ruin them.

      Only if the accusations are true. It is just a post on the internet, there is no proof any of this is true or factual. Don’t be in such a hurry to harm others and damage their lives.

        As a woman, and having known many other women, I can promise you that none of what is mentioned is particularly far fetched. It’s sad, but we all have multiple stories like this. Almost any woman could put together a similar paragraph of incidents she has personally experienced.

        Edit to add: she didn’t even name anyone! No one is harmed, except the people who know they should be ashamed of themselves.

          As a man I’d have never believed how common such behavior is. I’d have thought that’s really outlandish.

          Now I’ve gone through the (probably stereotypical) process of a guy having a daughter, she’s an adult now.

          What she told me - no, all this stuff isn’t unusual at all. The first time she was afraid (and called me as she already had a phone of her own) she was not even 10 years old, riding her bike from my place to the ex-wife’s place, teenage boys catcalling her.

          There’s a lot of us men around who find it hard to believe, because it doesn’t happen to US. But it does. Frequently.

        As the husband of a woman with a PhD, let me assure you that I have witnessed several of these first hand when I travel with her to conferences.
