Trigger warning: SA (sexual assault)

How come women are always being dismissed when it comes to being stalked, harassed, and flat out sexually assaulted? A good example is when a woman says “hey, (name) is being creepy towards me he did (creepy behavior.)” it’s always followed by someone saying oh he’s just anti social! He’s just like that!! I hate that or another one is that “oh he’s just joking!” When it’s nothing to be joked about. A lot of the time women have to be hyper aware of this behavior in fear of being raped or killed… I hate it so so much.
