My experience with men has been completely different. I had a man follow me home from the bus stop in the dark and stand outside, staring into my hallway.
I had a man verbally harassing me from his car while pregnant and pushing my child in a pushchair.
I had a man stare at me in such an unpleasant way that I decided to walk a different route which was more busy.
I was groped by a man in public when I was only 6 years old.
When I was in my mid twenties, I left the gym with my headphones on. All of a sudden I felt a hand between my legs. I turned round and saw a group of young boys running off laughing.
I had my bum slapped by a young man when I bent down to give a beggar some money.
These are just some of examples, there have been other incidents as well.
I know many other women who had similarly unpleasant experiences with men.
I know many lovely men, I'm married to one.
But throughout my life it were always men who made me fear for my life. Never women.
And I'm worried for my daughter, who isn't even 2 years old yet.
