Earlier in this pregnancy, I filled out my “Initial Health History” form for prenatal and birth care. You know: check the box if you’ve experienced severe headaches, diabetes, all sorts of things. After the usual “Emotional abuse,” “Physical abuse,” “Sexual abuse,” I got to this very interesting item: ”ANY unwanted/undesired physical or sexual contact.”
read the link. so spot on.
too true
Sometimes it truly astonishes me how little of this kind of stuff I’ve experienced. I can count the number of times I’ve been cat-called or received unwanted male attention on one hand (and half of that was gay men trying to pick me up, which I’m not sure even counts). I’ve never been groped. I really and truly think it’s because I’m butch, and that’s why I always side-eye statements that non-male people can’t have male privilege. Privilege isn’t always a positive advantage; sometimes it’s a lack of negative stuff.
