As a man, I genuinely wonder how much actual harassment women face vs how much they hear about it, driving the anxiety.
I get to feel that a lot of these fears are real, but many are manufactured. But I can be wrong.
I'm pretty sure it's much, much worse than you think. In fact, I'm fairly sure it's much worse than I think. Men don't experience it, women are reluctant to talk about it because some men react aggressively to claims that men react aggressively.
Anecdotally, last week I (middle aged lady) was approached by two strange men. One tried to grab me outside my work site, and one told me how lovely I was and asked for my number (in target). It’s much, much worse for young women. It’s not manufactured, unlike the doubt of women’s lived experience seems to be.
