Yes I know the stats say that I'm just wondering if it's really true after all.

Not saying it definitely is or isn't.

Does no-one think that I may have a point at all?

I can only think of my own experience and definitely more things happened to me at 16 than my DH or DB (the only men I know well enough to know what things happened to them at that age).

I would imagine the under-reporting is an equal spread across genders.

I was assaulted after getting off a bus at night. I still use public transpo but have been cautious ever since.

What a fucking loser I am sgb - guess if I really tried I could have stopped it. My own fault for being 'a poor ickle girly'.

for someone who likes to rail at misogyny, you don't have give it out when you choose to.

Difficult isn't it.

Thinking about the tube, I was flashed at/wanked at etc 3/4 times when I was a teen.

Not sure what the equivalent would be for a bloke on the tube.

Certainly never reported any of those things, but they are illegal and a bit unnerving...

Sorry to hear what happened to you chibi
