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 take all this with a 🙄🙄....seeing as how I get college girls from well off backgrounds giving ME speeches about how my gender is all rapists....and IM THE ONE that's been a victim of sexual assault from a foster mom-as a toddler-that still gives me nightmares. I'm the one from abject poverty who's been an SA victim while the ones giving me speeches from classroom propaganda haven't been EITHER....and I spend my spare time helping single moms and their kids by giving them new clothes, food, transportation help and cash....but it's nice to know the well to do who HAVEN'T been SA victims walk around every minute of the day ready to dial 911 on me as "potential rapist." There are a LOT of Tucker Reed types out there now, and they all come from the same background. This guy in your case is a creep, yes....but I get treated like 1 every day and all I do is respect women and help my community, while they sit at Jamba Juice and regurgitate propaganda gotten from a classroom.

@Trabzor I’ve seen some of your posts, they have very misogynistic views. The difference between you and I is that you blame women as a whole for your bad experiences, i don’t blame all men for mine. I am aware that good guys exist just as much as i am aware of the bad ones. And these posts are meant to make others aware as well. So if you’re mad about that i don’t really care.
