a thread of every single time (that i can remember) i& #39;ve had a "men aint shit" moment before the age of 18
this thread isn& #39;t meant as "look at how much i& #39;ve been hurt and made unsafe in my life feel so bad for me >:((" but more as a way to come to terms with the things that have happened to me as it took nearly a decade for me to realize for some of them
not all of these will be abt SA or SH and it will include every time a man has made me feel unsafe or uncomfortable by doing things they KNOW they shouldn& #39;t be doing. the ages might not be 100% accurate but theyre all p close
