the most common mistake we as women make is pass of someone 'brushing past' as a mistake or unintentional. what is troubling is this is so common that its hardy ever addressed as an 'issue'. its rare that we travel by bus or walk down the street feeling comfortable. eyes and looks can really 'pierce' if i may say so.i'm really glad that so much is being done to make both men and women 'aware'.
I agree... our society makes all women, socially conditioned to do so.
I wonder whether there will ever be a time when rape will be considered as normal
well...what about marital rape then?
it's not voiced most often because it is not even thought of as rape.
