RE: It's Violent to Say "Women Are Asking for It" Because of What They Are Wearing
Right there with you.
I've written before about having been targeted by men, more than once, and it didn't have a damned thing to do with what I was wearing.
I've been stalked three times that I know of, which is a damned uncomfortable position to be in, but in those conditions all you can really do is be really aware of what is going on around you, and take a friend (or a large dog) whenever possible.
Men can control themselves; those who cannot are categorically not men in the first place, but overgrown - and undermatured - boys.
REAL men understand "No."

ugh! so sorry to hear about being your stalked and targeted.
for all of the men replying to these questions saying "not all men!" or "what about men!" i wish they would take a minute to center the fact that women on steemit are replying to these stories saying "me too!"... and center the women's experiences. that could be your daughter, sister, wife, mom.... It's not about pitting men and women against one another, but realizing that women are actively considering their safety against men as a very real top of the list concern in their lives (i know, i've been there too- i think most of us have.)
This:
undermatured is right. i am so glad we got a chance to write about this. i find these articles that are "controversial" or contain triggering subject matter don't get read as much, but wherever the truth stands it stands tall!

I completely agree.
All we can do it so continue to show a mirror to those refusing to see the truth . . . including ourselves where appropriate . . . in order to continue to move the dialogue forward.
exactly! none of it can move forward if we don't bring it out into the open, for ourselves or others! refreshing!! <3
