This morning (warning for mention of sexual harassment)

[citrusjava]

I was sexually harassed kinda bad - though not unusually bad - by a cab driver, last night.
Got home, it took hours, hugged M and made her tell me over and over again through her sore throat –
"Your body only belongs to you, not to anybody else".

On a different note - all that "get your body summer-ready/swimsuit-ready" crap? well,

the world, however, probably needs some work getting ready for it and me.

Hi new friend *hugs you tight*
What a crap night you had :(
Awesome that you're ready for summer, I'm ready for winter and the chances to snuggle and watch fantastic tv while enjoying comfort food as the rain pelts down outside my safety bubble. LOL.

I was wondering if you'd seen this?

Hi, awesome new friend!

Thank you for the vid! I'm told it's really awesome. I can't actually watch it, cause health issues are a huge trigger for me, but it seems to say some very important things about boundaries.

:D

It does, things that we all need to remember.

(((HUGS)))

Thread jumping to say cheers for posting the vid, which I watched with interest. Some of the content is very US-centric but there are some important universal messages there. Will likely repost at some point on my journal.

I saw it a year or so ago on another friend's LJ and when CJ mentioned getting M to repeat on a loop, it brought the vid to mind.
I agree some important messages, that need to be shared.

Meh, that really sucks.
*all the good thoughts and vibes*

Thanks a lot, bb.

[stir-of-echoes.livejournal.com]

Ack! So sorry.

[citrusjava.livejournal.com]

Thank you, it's kind of you to say.

Aww, I'm so sorry that happened to you. And right on about the weird swimsuit stuff--if they don't make us feel like crap about ourselves, how will they ever sell us things we don't need (and why is a one piece so hard to find)?

[citrusjava.livejournal.com]

Thank you, BB.

As for swimsuits being hard to find - that must be society's way of saying "just go ahead and swim in the nude, awesome people!" I've been known to go swimming in shorts and a tank top or such (or without them)...
Though I don't have a lot of people to go with, these days, it is pretty intimate, and neither M nor Ch like going swimming. I guess they can bond over that..

:(( Sorry to hear about your experience, but depressingly unsurprised. *hugs*

[citrusjava.livejournal.com]

Same here... Thank you.

OMG So many hugs for you! I'm sorry that happened. :(

Yay, I get the Sam/Dean hug icon!
