Where’s the logic?

so i made a post for my series on creepy men, and a guy commented under it “he should’ve asked age first because not everyone here is actually 18 or over” and yes while the case for some it’s not for me I get this one alot, even from people in my life irl, mainly because of how young i look but i can assure you i am in fact 18 i was born in 2006. Which if im being honest its super scary to think about cause it feels like i was just 9 years old playing outside with the neighborhood kids. Now I’m 18 and i’ll be going to college to study psychology, and its the craziest thing.

But back to my central point of this post, it doesn’t matter that im 18 just because i’m the age of consent doesn’t make it any more okay for people to be creepy towards me. And that is the entire reason i have the series to begin with. People think that just because im “old enough” there’s no consequence for their behavior towards me, im here to show them that there is. And i will continue to do that, i encourage other victims of this kind of harassment to post about it as well, not just women men too. Bring attention to it. People will give you a hard time but its okay just keep doing what you do!

I read the comments and am astonished. The "she was asking for it, look how she's dressed" mentality went out in the 50s or 60s. Or so I thought. In reality it doesn't matter how you are dressed, you should be able to be confident you are treated with respect. You should also be able to expect a civil conversation. Until, and if, you invite more. Which the men would learn you would not.
