As a woman, and having known many other women, I can promise you that none of what is mentioned is particularly far fetched. It's sad, but we all have multiple stories like this. Almost any woman could put together a similar paragraph of incidents she has personally experienced.

Edit to add: she didn't even name anyone! No one is harmed, except the people who know they should be ashamed of themselves.

As a man I'd have never believed how common such behavior is. I'd have thought that's really outlandish.

Now I've gone through the (probably stereotypical) process of a guy having a daughter, she's an adult now.

What she told me - no, all this stuff isn't unusual at all. The first time she was afraid (and called me as she already had a phone of her own) she was not even 10 years old, riding her bike from my place to the ex-wife's place, teenage boys catcalling her.

There's a lot of us men around who find it hard to believe, because it doesn't happen to US. But it does. Frequently.
