“I once explained it to my partner no, it isn’t ‘all men.’
But I don’t know which men it is, and won’t know until it’s too late.
So I have to act like it’s all men most of the time.”

“My ex-husband and I had SO MANY arguments about him opening the door to just anyone.
One time, I was in the shower, heard voices, and peeped out the bathroom door.
It was like he wanted to be home-invaded.”

“I’m a teacher for high school juniors and seniors.
One day, I was deathly ill and didn’t come work, so they had a sub.
When I returned, the sub told me that a student said extremely inappropriate things about me.
hey keep in mind, my class is 90% guys.
It made me extremely uncomfortable.”
Which blew my mind.

“One time I was going to a party with my then boyfriend.
Okay, no problem except by then it was already dark outside.
I did not feel comfortable walking down to the bus stop.
I tried to call my boyfriend but he did not answer.”
“I finally got to the place and I was (of course) in a bad mood.
And that’s why he is my ex.”

“I have a (mostly) fantastic husband.
Every time I heard a big truck I’d freeze.
My heart would pound and I’d start looking for hiding spots or houses that looked occupied.
He watched all this!!
He saw my terror.
He went two or three more times than right back to me by myself.
not one fuck given.

I totally didn’t think of that!”

“I had a van that you could initiate the trunk with the key fob.
I tried to get him to understand anyone could have gotten in.

“At a place I used to work, we had temporary staff coming in.
One of them asked a female staff member when she finished her shift, which was after midnight.
I had to escalate it to our female regional manager to get the guy banned.”

“We all thought it was very weird and steered clear of him the rest of the night.
But no, they thought we were being paranoid and continued to laugh about it.
Men will just never understand how differently women have to live so that be safe.”

“I was stalked for months.
The man even at one point broke into my apartment right after I got out of the shower.
Thank GOD he didnt do anything, but he could have flat out murdered me.
He was bigger than me and I was extremely vulnerable.
People say Im paranoid about safety, but you would be too if you had gone through it.”
“For MONTHS I was so incredibly careful of every possible safety procedure.
Had people walk me everywhere and more.
To this day I get terrified when I see his car model from him following me.
I still run to my car, I still look behind me way more than I need to.
I still worry that hell find me even though I live states away.
So many men though just call me paranoid or delusional.
One even called me self centered to think hed still be interested in stalking me.”
