Description

For much of my life, I presented as a woman, uncomfortably so, but definitely as a woman. Living as a woman in a man’s world can mean living a jaded life where it’s hard to trust first impressions. You’re constantly second-guessing, wondering if you’re safe. These short stories are based on my experiences and those of the women in my life and on stories we read in the press. Obviously women aren’t exactly privy to the internal monologues of the men harassing them but sometimes it’s astoundingly clear what they’re thinking when they’re interacting with women. I’ll be getting calls of “not all men” right about now. And you’re right, “not all men” rape, assault, abuse, batter, sexually harass or even annoy women but enough do that it’s hard to trust anyone claiming to be “one of the good guys”. At a base level, to be “one of the good guys” men need to be stepping up and intervening when sexist, misogynistic jokes are told, when friends make obscene comments about women or laugh about rape.
