Anything from being minorly catcalled on the street to, you know, literal physical abuse.

I just want to be clear about how the study defined harassment and assault.

I don't know how much that number would change if you, for example, left out verbal harassment, which might include, say, being unwontedly hit on at a party or something like that, or being sent a suggestive message on social media or something along those lines.

I'm speculating a little bit, but I think you know what I'm getting at.

Yeah, and that's good to call out because I would say that if it's getting an unsolicited flirty message on Instagram or whatever, I'm surprised it's not 100% of women having had that at some point in their life.

So she continues, As I explore this statistic in my own experience, almost all of the women I know fall into that 81%.

Yet not a single man I have encountered knows a man at fault.

I question which is more likely.

Is it just a few men whom apparently no one knows on a rampage making contact with all these women?

Or are you all complacent?

Complacent?

Complacent.

I don't know if she meant complicit or complacent.

It sounds like I think she probably must have meant complicit, no?

I think so.

Or maybe she's saying that we are all complacent as men with the status quo.

Of men doing this to women and then just not doing anything or saying anything about it?

She must have meant complicit, right?

Like, is it just a few men or are you all doing creepy stuff to some degree or overlooking it?

It's an intense letter, man.
