Thanks for sharing this, Jim. I am 73. When I was 16, women had no birth control, no right to abortion, no credit cards, etc. etc. I feel this young person's pain acutely. Living as a female all these years, I carry fear and anger within me always. Some times it's barely noticeable. Other times it simmers. Other times it boils. These days are heading towards something very bad.
Excruciatingly painful to read, especially after witnessing my stepdaughter express these feelings to her father and all he could do is get angry at her, perceiving that what she was saying was indoctrinated bs. My heart breaks for her, their relationship, and him - who I have also witnessed being fed the misogyny. I am …. furious, and disgusted and yet trying my best to have some grounded position in this nightmare.
I think we need to teach our own women and girls to fight back. If 1 in 5 women are sexually assaulted or raped in college, maybe 1 in 5 young men need to be sent home from college n body bags.
honest words from a young woman-too young to be a casualty of this war on women. a minor. a child, but old enough to know she's not safe. who ought to be protected not exploited with cruel indifference. & dammit now i'm crying.
Powerful writing by a very real perspective if a young girl .......and of the reality boys won't see it or understand it . But if tRumps agenda was they all had to have vasectomys until marriage and then they can be reversed ...they'd be sitting in fear as innocent girls are

As usual boys and men are the villains.

Yes. My advice to all females--Get as physically fit as you can. Learn a martial art if you are able. Get a weapon.
Model Mugging https://modelmugging.org/ is a good choice of training program.
