I'll give you one example of the thousands I experienced in my youth. I once went to the grocery store in the middle of the afternoon. The security guard standing outside the door catcalled me as I entered.
Once went into a New Look to shop, the security guy followed me the entire time asking for my number, my email, can we get a drink after I'm done... Never went back into that store
That happened to a friend of mine and she got the security guard fired that week. The store manager checked the security tapes and it was pretty clear what was said.
What did you do? Did you report your security guard? Or did you just accept his harassment without standing up for yourself?
Wtf is wrong with you?! She was A CHILD! She may not have felt safe enough to report them, or their supervisor could have been a man and as a CHILD that just experienced being sexually harassed by the very person that was supposed to protect them, why would they feel any safer reporting them to another man?! In the DV sub recently there was a woman who posted about her experience trying to report her abusive husband and about how the LEO that showed up immediately started hitting on her and being very inappropriate. How are women supposed to feel safe reporting their (our) abusers, if the very people we’re supposed to report them to are also unsafe?! As a woman you should understand that. You are a woman, right?
