[CW: rape]
It's wild that people think women just make this kind of shit up or exaggerate.
By the time I was 16, two of my underage friends had been raped. And I know it was true because one of them came from a very regious Christian family that forced her to keep the baby.
And that was just two close friends that I know about. Most people obviously aren't going to tell people they were raped.
Women are being killed, raped and left in dumpsters like trash all the time and people are still like "lol stop being hysterical". It's wild.
it's actually insane to me too, you can very literally ask any femme-presenting person and they will have some experience of assault, and yet we still have to hear talk about 'you're just watching too much tv/listening to too many podcasts/need to live in the real world'
and that's not even getting into what you've touched on, which is that so many of those sexual assault experiences occur underage, but no it's mass hysteria to be even slightly worried about it
