This is a very powerful post, and I appreciate you writing it (even if some people just aren't getting it). I'm sorry that you had to go through such a degrading experience, and I know that it is all too common among girls and women to be treated that way, no matter how many times people claim that the sexes are treated "equally" nowadays. When I think of some of the remarks that I've heard about myself or other women - very casual things, said as though they were no big deal at all - it makes me sick. When I was at a party once and in a blue mood because I'd just dumped a boyfriend, another boy said very casually and so that I could overhear, "Do you think if I fucked her she'd feel better?" As if it was a joke.

And it's just... why do people think these things are okay? Why would anyone ever think they are okay? But they do, and from as young an age as in the post you've written and even younger.

I'm sorry that this happened to you. I wish it would stop happening, but unfortunately I can't even imagine a world without this kind of sexism and degradation. I don't know if it will ever be possible.
