I never thought of it like that. Similar situations like yours happened to me in college but I always thought “well, technically nothing happened, so…”. But you are so right. Thanks for speaking up

I was 4 - the babysitter. I was 10 - my brother held me down for his friend. I was 18 - walked to my dorm by a friend. I was 21 - asleep after a party. I was 25 - knocked out on cold meds. I AM MAD!

I was 11, and an adult man thought it was ok to fondle my breast under my blouse. That's all, but I've never forgotten it, and I always consider myself lucky because it could have been worse.

Thank you for sharing. I had an experience like this in college as well. I think about it a lot and it led me to work with SA victims. And now to write about it. Much love to you.

You are so right we all have this story! Mine was at 16 and I always thought it was my fault because I’d been drinking. 40 some years later I know it wasn’t my fault but I never talked about it. Ever!

This happened to me about 40 years ago too, to this day I haven’t told anyone . I always thought because I was a little on the chubby side no one would believe that someone would touch a fat girl

The neighbor, pinned me on his bedroom floor, only stopped because his mom came in. Same neighbor tried again at our house when parents were out and brother invited him, our dog went after him.

Wow.This stopped me in my tracks. Same age as you,this post took me way back, MANY experiences that were chalked up to”nothing” bc “I’m still alive, right?” And women voted for him/them makes me sick

I also never told a sole when I was dr5ggd and grap until 20 years later reading some of the diddy stories. I finally told my husband. I hate that we keep it in, but I just couldn’t

Thank you for sharing. My mom is Gen X and talks about how no was not taken seriously and the length of a skirt meant blame🥺 past is prologue

Mine happened at Northeastern University in the 80’s when 2 “friends” decided to have some fun with me-I climbed out onto a firescape where someone saw what was happening and helped me

I was 7 when my dad’s uncle by marriage said something so absurd, I won’t be typing it out. I didn’t even know what it meant but I knew it was bad by the adults reaction. My mom still made me hug him

I had two extremely close calls, very similar to what you described. One in HS, one in college. Thank you for saying “something did happen”. Thank you for sharing your truth. 💙

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I had something similar happen to me, but I wasn’t able to get away. I kept it a secret for decades, but finally told my husband not long ago. We both agree with.

I had an ex coworker grab my wrist just to stop me from leaving the space we were both in and I went straight to HR. When I was a child I never spoke up.. I will ALWAYS speak up now.

Thank you for sharing. I am having the same problem with this adm and Gender Based Violence. I am working on an art installation on GBV so I can be constructive with my anger. I am SO angry!

I didn’t realize i had been, by a local singer, for many years. I said no multiple times and then just laid there limp. He even called me the next day in front of his mom as if nothing happened.
