The oldest is starting to go out, drink etc. I want my boys to be able to go out, meet girls, get drunk, get laid etc. I also know how girls act and dress and with hormones and drink I worry they get might get falsely accused of something. It seems to me we are entering a puritanical age where a man will be guilty until proven innocent. Anyway, they, and their friends are all on the side of Paddy and Co and understand how important the concept of fair trial is. Proud of them.

I won't even bother telling you the comments I used to get if I dared to eat an ice cream or lolly walking home on a hot day. I wonder what kind of pathetic insecure human being would rather deny that this happened and call someone a liar than face the fact that some men behave in this way? I don’t know any 11 year olds that look 14 or 15. Nobody is stupid or ignorant enough to mistake a child for a teenager - nobody. Someone may have beeped their horn at you (god help you) when you walked home from school, but I’m not buying the dramatic recollection of your horrific schoolgoing days.

Get over yourself. Lots of people including myself have experienced harassment worse than what you have experienced. The difference is we don't use it to hate a group of people for the rest of our lives. That's just sexism. It's the exact same mindset Adolf Hitler had when some Jews didn't like his art. And we all know how that turned out.
irishrebe wrote: » More silencing of women. Rather than believe that there are men who behave like this, you call me a liar, with no evidence. You can't imagine it ever happening, so therefore I must be making it up. You can't imagine an 11 year old being mistaken for a 14 year old, despite being 5'4 with boobs, so I must be making it up. You are aware of the Larry Nassar case, yes? The USA Gymnastics teen doctor who molested literally hundreds of girls and women for decades, sometimes while their parents were in the room? Wouldn't you have said that sounded too outrageous to be true? Yet it was true. And he wasn't acting alone. The dozens of women who made complaints about him were silenced and brushed off because there was just 'no way' someone would risk their job and reputation like that and just 'no way' that the other adults around him were complicit in the abuse. There was just 'no way' a doctor would insert his fingers into a girl's vagina with no gloves on and get away with it, to hundreds of different patients, for decades. Those girls and women were called drama queens and liars. And yet it turned out to be true. Things like the above go on in this world, and you find it so incredibly unbelievable that a group of boorish young men leaving their factory jobs, trying to impress each other, would beep and shout lewd comments to a schoolgirl walking home that you call me a liar? Jesus, it must be so nice to live in your little bubble.
irishrebe wrote: » Oh, look, another one in the oppression olympics. Wouldn't you think that as a victim of harassment yourself, you'd have empathy for another victim? Would you have liked your 13-year-old daughter to have been beeped at and whistled at by grown men as she walked home from school? To have had comments like 'go on, deep throat it' and 'I bet you'd suck my c*ck like that' shouted as she ate an ice lolly? Seeing the men laughing and high fiving each other because it was all a joke to them, while her heart was pounding with fear? You're basically saying I should just shut up and not recount this story because it wasn't that bad and I could have had false rumours spread about me by other kids my age?
