grumpycakes asked: I read what happened to you at the comedy show and I just want to give you a hug or support or something. I had a man come up to me at the store I work at and then ask for help but while helping him he politely but a little too persistently began to ask questions that led up to him asking me out. I also did the act polite so nothing bad happens thing and couldn't believe myself. I was told by my male coworker that my feelings of violation were wrong. Thank you for sharing your story.

I’ve also been told (by very few people, but some people nonetheless - and I hate to say it but all men) that my feelings were wrong too, that I overreacted, that I need to toughen up. Stay strong, girl. It’s been hard for me the last few days to not keep replaying what happened and doubting/blaming myself and feeling ashamed that I was so scared so publicly. I’m hoping it just takes time.
