I'm so sorry that happened to you and your sister. It's lamentable that no space is 'safe'-I've heard someone tell me they were 'grabbed' in church!

And it is sadly true that no woman has escaped this. (I do wonder, however, how men cope with it, given that they are not allowed to be publicly vulnerable in that way!)

But isn't it heartening, at least,to read some of the male responses to this piece? Honestly, I was expecting a lot more trolling. It's a start, at the very least.
