"Sometimes I wish men disappeared" - Not hateful, says admin

It's unfortunate

Agreed. I'd prefer to have hard data than be forced to apply skepticism after considering the incentives for people to lie about these interactions.

There are a lot of genuine cases.

I unfortunately did keep the sources but I remember someone comparing the rate of catcalls between NY (the city in which that infamous 'catcall' video took place) and Minnesota, or something.

There was a VAST enough differences to suggest that this is a problem with the city's culture, not men.

But yes, there are obviously genuine cases but the only ones we hear about are when women are the victims.

I've been flashed by women at clubs. When men do it, women are "victims". When women do it, men are "lucky".

At a packed outdoor concert, a woman sitting on the shoulders of a guy who was standing a good 20 ft away shouted at me to whip out my dick. When I refused, she laughed and mocked me for having a small dick because I didn't want to show it.

I had my ass felt up at a club by an older woman.

My male co-worker had his dick groped by another female co-worker under the table at a work dinner.

So maybe someone would disbelieve that....It's hard to know.

Slightly off-topic, but it does show that unbelievable stories happen...

I was renting a basement apartment during college when the two Swedish college exchange students who were staying up stairs knocked on my door with a six-pack of beer and asked if they could come in.

I suffered from so much social anxiety - and an incredibly messy space - at the time that I asked them to wait, panicked, closing the door and casting about for what I could do to clean the room to make it presentable enough for the sex that was quite clearly being offered....

...and gave up, figuring this social situation was too much for me to navigate. I opened the door, thanked them, took two of the beers to be polite (I didn't even drink at the time), then closed the door.

Nobody ever believes this but yeah it happened.
