I’ve never seen it.

Is she credible?

She’s doing it to get attention.

She’s a man-hating feminist.

Bullshit.

Don’t ruin my hobby.

I would stop it.

I don’t believe it.

She’s over the top.

Why aren’t any women commenting on this?

I am not in the mood to try and be action oriented right now. I am not in the mood to tell you how you can help. I am in the mood to show you what women face when they report harassment. You figure out how you can help. I’m tired.
