Do you remember the first time you were sexually harassed?

We girls were forced to wear dresses to school, and on the play ground the boys would push and shove to get a chance to look up your dress. Then they’d jeer and taunt you. That started in Kindergarten.
When I was in 2nd grade I had a shirt that zipped up the front. It had a ring on the zipper. Just as the bell rang to go in from recess some boy hooked his finger in that ring and yanked it down. It unzipped my entire shirt. I sobbed and cried as I fought to get it zipped back, desperate that no one see anything, panicking that I would be late lining up.
I have never been so humiliated in my life. I never, ever wore that shirt again. I never told anyone either.

No one tried to protect us. In fact, the social mores made us targets by forcing us to wear such revealing clothing.
