The audacity! These monsters are fearless as they've gotten away with their crap for generations.

I'm so glad to know that there are knowledgeable, strong and assertive girls that are ready to stand up for themselves in these situations.

I was molested twice as a child. Once at five at the pool by a neighbor and another time at age eight by a stranger. I might not be alive today if I hadn't known/been warned ahead of time when I was eight that the man rubbing his body against me asking me to "go outside behind the building in the hedges" was not being appropriate.

I immediately got away from him and went to the front desk of the library where my parents had dropped me off and told the librarian. They called the police and I identified him. My parents were horrified, of course. I don't know what happened after that but I did my part and got him on the police radar.
