It must be harder for a woman, because not only is there the degradation I felt, but the absence of honour that a woman's sexuality deserves. I rejoice in your ability to express your feelings not just eloquently, but with a degree of compassion that accepts that not all men are to blame. You do write quite wonderfully well.

At one time (I'm ashamed to say - but I was much younger than that now) I would walk on by and not get involved in many things that seemed wrong, but now I will go out of my way to make my voice heard. As we all should do! But with regards the likes of the teacher in Taiwan, sometimes the best thing anyone can do is to just make sure thye themselves don't get involved - and take with them anyone else who is prepared to listen. I've just come across your blog and love the variety of topics you cover. This is the first response I have made to one of your posts.

I can tell you without a doubt from one comment, glance, or body language, a woman who carries that secret, yet as a society, we give alarm-ringing adults the benefit of the doubt. The Gift of Fear, indeed. I wish it were as easy to pick out the perpetrators as it is to recognize a molested soul.

This last couple of years I have been having sex and discovering that I am a sexual being AND NOT FEELING GUILTY for it. Then I found you, and you say all the things I think but so much better.
