I cannot believe you would even TYPE such a thing after reading winney's comments. Do you understand even the most BASIC things about sex crimes? Do you know that they are rarely, if ever, about sex, but about power instead? Do you know that there is nothing remotely funny about being violated?
Moderates, please excuse the expletive above. I rarely use those terms in real life, and never type them out, but #$@$ would not do justice to how their comments made me feel.

By writing about my experience I knew I was taking a chance with getting comments like that and I can't explain what something like this feels like unless it actually happens to you. I think that is why sex crimes are never taken seriously a lot of the time because unless you actually have gone through the experience, so many people are quick to make insensitive comments. I know I have in the past and I feel horrible about that now. It is really scary because so many of us are naive to things like this. I actually was just flyering my neighborhood with BEWARE signs and an older woman said to me "Oh sweetie, I am sorry you got scared but that stuff happens all the time in my country, (she was from Russia) and it is just the men looking to feel good, they will never hurt you". UMMMMM, HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO?! What about rapists who are caught and their initial behaviors were jerking off in public? I know of a sex offender who was incarcerated for rape and released who recently got into trouble because he locked himself in his female therapist's office and began jerking off. I hope that I can at least help one person to be protected from something like this happening. The camera idea was excellent. I just put it next to my mace so I know to carry it with me in the morning.
