One I saw a couple of times a while back- he seemed a nice guy so IDK why he came out with this.

Me:- I don't like X (sexual act) it just makes me feel ticklish.

Him:- I'm going to make you laugh and laugh.

!!!
Luckily he didn't go on to try the thing. Brr!

Ugh also time I was flashed- I was about 17 walking down a residential road there were other people about and kids playing further down the road. Lovely sunny day, about 4pm in afternoon. A guy comes towards me ‘excuse me could you help at all’ late 20’s/30’s well spoken. I though was going to ask me the time then the horrible realisation he has trousers open and ‘it’ in his hand.
He then asked me if it was a nice size and he would like to put it in my mouth 🤢
I was froze while he was taking to me luckily a car was coming down the road could see me horrified and stopped to see if I was ok and the man ran off. I was frozen in fear and he was completely getting off on it absolute freak.

Was it Greer who said 'women don't realise how much men hate them'

I think so. There's also Susan Forward's timeless book "Men Who Hate Women" -https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/9787.MenWhooHateWomennandtheeWomenWhooLove_Them

Too many deliberately ambiguously disgusting references to my cat using "pussy" in emails and F2F convos to count. Most recently a business associate. WTF.

In dead seriousness, the husband of a new friend says to his son (friend's stepson): "This is my next wife." Stepson looked as appalled as I.

A very normal-looking man in a bank pinned me up against the wall with his body and whispered vile things in my ear and released me just as suddenly. I was a very young and sheltered 17.

Comedian after a show at a hotel picked me up (to carry me back to his room WTF), asking when was the last time I had had my hair pulled.

And loads more.

I grew up with a father who constantly cheated and that, coupled with my own my experiences have left me with a very low opinion of men.

This has inspired me to dig out a passage from one of my favourite books (Noble House, James Clavell). The girl, Orlanda, is young and very beautiful.

'Sorry, but with almost every man I meet, well, it's always the same.'

'...It's trying to walk into a room or a restaurant and feel those leering eyes. I wonder how men would handle it. You're young and handsome. What would you do if women did it to you everywhere you went. Say when you walked through the lobby of the V and A this morning you saw women of every age, from false-toothed old grannies, bewigged harpies, the fat, the ugly, the coarse, all of them, all openly leering at you, undressing you mentally, openly trying to get close, trying to stroke your behind, openly ogling your chest or crotch, most of them with bad breath, most of them sweating and foul-smelling, and you know they're imagining you in their bed, enthusiastically and happily doing the most intimate things to them.'

"You're asking for it, wearing a dress like that out". From work colleague on Xmas night out.

"I could do anything I want to you right now and there's nothing you can do about it" from a guy I'd been seeing a few years on and off. luckily I managed to leave his house and go home without anything happening! He makes me sick

summerrose11 · 31/05/2020 19:29

Oh yea got another one. On holiday with my family and my dad's best mates family. I must have been 14/15 younger sister and friend 12/11. So us 4 sat at a table and our parents sat at another table across the room in the restaurant.
A man Comes up to our table and chats to us. Prob in his 20s maybe even late 20s. Asking what we are up to. Said he's here with his army mates and points at them and starts laughing. He goes away and comes back with a bottle of champagne for us. Clearly we are all very young!! My dad notices and goes mental asking what he thinks he's playing at!! The guy says he thought I was alot older, my dad said yea right did you, they are young clearly!
Makes me shudder now to think what he and his mates would have tried to have done to us if he had a chance.

Greenkit · 31/05/2020 21:19

When I was 14 and the lad in my year dragged me in to an open garage,pushed me up against the wall and rubbed himself up against me till he came...I was pinned and couldn't get away.

And the man who walked up to my 21 yr old daughter, however she looked about 16 and said, i would fuck you but your tits are too small....

Redyellowpink · 31/05/2020 22:35

Last night, while you were asleep, I put my fingers inside you

Said to me by a one night stand

Redyellowpink · 31/05/2020 22:41

Thought of many more:

I had a boss who used to say to me 'I know when you're hungover because your boobs are smaller, it must be the dehydration'I was 19, he was 50s

When I was 14 and waitressing a regular stand up comedian would come in every friday night. When I went near him he would say 'what's your name (looking at my name badge)...redyellowpink, what do you call the other one (looking at my left boob)' he would say this into the mike, to a room full of people

@NoMoreDickheads I've used taxis in my large town a lot. I always sit in the front - my reasoning is that if the driver starts to act strange / go in the wrong direction then I can take action more easily.

Most of our local taxi drivers are foreign, I haven't had any issues with them. But my younger sister has. Mainly as a woman getting drunk while out at night & travelling home alone, the foreign taxi drivers find it hard to hide their disapproval.
The 2 drivers I've had bad experiences with were white English. Both started talking about sex in a creepy way. I should have reported them, I would now.

Redyellowpink · 31/05/2020 22:48

Reading lots of posts about taxi drivers asking to pay in kind..I've also experienced that!

Also, there was a kebab shop me and my mates used to go into drunk after the pub (about 16-17) and when we asked for mayonnaise the guy would give a creepy leer and say 'do you want some of my fresh mayonnaise' Sad

Redyellowpink · 31/05/2020 22:51

Another one! I was very very young (maybe 11) and wearing fairy wings as fancy dress. A bloke said to me 'can you fly? Wanna undo my flies?'

Songsofexperience · 31/05/2020 22:55
  1. After a big uni ball. I'd gotten very drunk (free bar, wasn't actually used to drinking that much). I got separated from my friends and ended up in the first aid tent after a fall which left me with a nasty bruise on the side of my face for two weeks. I was barely awake when a random guy literally picked me up and carried me to a taxi. I was too drunk to react. He got in with me and all the way to his place was all over me. I said no all the time. The taxi driver asked if I was ok. Random guy said yes she's alright. She's with me. I was physically paralysed. We arrive at a random cottage in the middle of nowhere. Random guy literally carries me to his room and has sex with me. I said no but there was nothing I could do to stop It.
borntohula · 31/05/2020 22:57

Loads but in particular, when I was 14/15 doing work experience, at the end of the 2 weeks I said 'thanks for having me!' And he replied 'I wish I had!' He was middle aged and creepy before that comment. Yuck.

Myfutureisland · 31/05/2020 23:17

Age 8 on holiday in Tunisia 1980. Harassed, catcalled and groped by guys in the souks. I was eight years old and very modestly dressed.
Age 14 in school. R.E. Class gives by a priest. He used to stand behind me and stroke my hair while saying quietly under his breath ' all the colours of the rainbow, so beautiful'. I would just freeze. Many, many more.... Lecherous PE teacher when I was 17...he approached me in a pub when I was with friends..he must have been mid 40's. I couldn't get away fast enough. Lecturer at Uni...leaned over you when seated at computer with his arms either side on the desk so you had zero personal space and rubbed his erection on the back of the chair.

My dad has been in the prison service for 40 years. Many, many rapists who come though the prison are/were taxi drivers.

PerfectionistProcrastinator · 31/05/2020 23:37

A few years ago when I was around 30 I went with a friend to her parents house so she could collect a few things. I was wearing flat winter boots that came up to just under the knee, jeans underneath.

He said to me “oooh you’re wearing boots!...I like boots” followed by a creepy smile. My response was “oh...haha I don’t think they’d fit you”! My friend and her mum were in the hallway a few ft away.

SunnyCoco · 31/05/2020 23:42

Fucking hell these are horrendous

Songsofexperience · 01/06/2020 00:27

Sorry if it's a bit dark but there's another one. Age 9. Downstairs neighbour's son developed the creepy habit to pick me up and spin me around really fast whenever he saw me play outside by myself. I hated it. It was quite uncomfortable and weird. One day he carried me to their garage and kissed me all over my non existent breasts saying 'I want to eat you'. Disgusting. I never wore that t-shirt again.

Songsofexperience · 01/06/2020 00:27

He was well into his 20s.

NaviSprite · 01/06/2020 01:34

When I was around 20 a Taxi driver decided to drive by a tree on my way home from a night out (a good 40 minute drive) and as we approached this weird stand alone tree he said “they found a girl not much older than you under that tree, raped and murdered.” I was in the passenger seat and alone - my blood ran cold and I honestly felt terrified. I called my brother who wasn’t impressed at being woken up and played it off to the driver that I was speaking to my Dad who insisted I always call when on my way home and not so casually dropped the name of the taxi company. I’ve sat in the back of taxis ever since and rarely get one alone.

When I was a teenager my Step Dad had been seeing my Mum for about 7 months, I was 14, we were at a big bbq/piss up and I remember his friends were looking me up and down, one suggested to my Step Dad that he could move onto a younger model soon and made a few crude gestures in my direction.

I don’t condone violence but seeing my Step Dad get the man in a headlock and escorting him off the property was the moment I decided to give him a chance (up until meeting him my mum had a string of horrible men who she frequently introduced me and my brother to, so I had been wary).

I started developing breasts at age 9/10 - I was groped by older teenage boys on many occasions. Was told I had child bearing hips from the age of roughly 13 and blow job lips etc. from creepy older men.

For a recent one just prior to lockdown I was stopped in the street by a man when I was out walking with my twins (they were in their pushchair) first he said something along the lines of “You look great considering you’ve had two” (he was drunk) then said to my two year old daughter she is going to have all the lads after her if she inherited my breast size, I can’t actually write his real words because I felt sick and just stated angrily that she’s 2 years old and that was not appropriate (with a lot of swearing I’m sorry to say) and managed to cross the road and get into our local shop where thankfully he didn’t follow.

Aclh13 · 01/06/2020 01:51

I had a male friend I recently had to cut off permanently, known him since sixth form, admitted a couple of years back how much he fancied me back then which made me feel uncomfortable as we were hanging out alone and I have a partner, kept messaging me about how
'beautiful I was', I ignored him for abit then we became normal friends again, during lock down kept trying to send more and more kisses on messages when I would shut him down, ask me weird suggestive questions ect, I've told him repeatedly I'm not interested at all and to not ruin the friendship, he started asking me how 'horny I was ect' out of the blue I'm in a guy committed relationship of five years and this guy looks like big Ed from 90df, ended up having to block him entirely??

Aclh13 · 01/06/2020 01:58

I had a teacher comment how 'good I was with my hands' when doing sexual health class in year 11 practicing rolling condoms on wooden d*cks, gross,
Also with an ex boyfriend he held a machete over my head repeatedly during sex asking me who's the master and would choke me repeatedly to the point of unconscious, he also loved watching Connor mcgregor during???

Beckyk12 · 01/06/2020 02:37

This is so relevant to me I keep thinking back to when I first fell pregnant and my doctor scolded me and told Me I needed an internal to check everything was okay, I was only 6 weeks gone, it has always bothered me and now I know it should never have happened, also my friend brought a guy back to my house After a nite out and I woke up to him assaulting me, but I had a very low opinion of myself and didn’t take it any further, I used to see him occasionally in the social circle and always regret not confronting him about it 😡

summerrose11 · 01/06/2020 07:00

@songsofexperience I'm so sorry that happened to you. It shouldn't have. I hope you're OK
