“When I was in high school I had a part time job as a hostess. One day I walked these two old guys easily my grandparents age to a table and asked them if the table was ok and one guy responded “it’d be better if you were sitting on my lap” I quickly put the menus down and walked away. So gross” – mfaber3

“I was 15 walking downtown with my best friend and her mother and this older man (looked like he was in his 50’s) walked past us, then circled back around to pass me again while saying “mmm I’d love to use that ass as an ashtray! Put all my cigarettes out on that!” I was shocked and scared, my best friends mom jumped between me and him and cursed him out. I was wearing a dress that day, to this day almost 20 years later I’m not too comfortable wearing dresses in public.” – drayadoll

“I was 9 and a random guy decided to say how nice my legs looked on the shorts I was wearing. I didn’t say anything, just walked faster in order to get home.

After that I immediately started hating wearing shorts/skirts/dresses and up to this day (I’m 21) I still feel self conscious and uncomfortable when showing my legs.” – RESMoon

“I was 12 years old when a grown ass man told me that I looked nice and fertile. Being the innocent kid I was, I didn’t know what he meant, but it gives me a pit in my stomach everytime I think about it.” – Kinip7

“I was 10. I developed ahead of all my cousins and friends. It was our annual family cookout for the 4th of July and all the kids were running around in our swimsuits when my uncle grabbed my arm to stop me, looked me over, and cleared his throat to get everyone’s attention. He then said, “This one already looks like a woman, all the boys are going to fall in love with that body.” This made 10 year old me believe that men would love you no matter what as long as you had a good body. Spoiler alert: it didn’t turn out well. I’m better now, but it has taken years, and I’m still not where I want to be.” – butyourhonour
