re: #138 Fairly Sure I’m Still Obdicut

The phrase was, “every man I came into contact with”, not every man out there, and it was in the context of being a young divorced woman, someone who “needed it”, as I was told more than once. I was seen as a “used product”, not a “virgin”, not a person to be respected. I suspect many of those social attitudes are still around. There is a reason I never married again or even had a long-term relationship where I had to live with someone, the reason I became a feminist, and it mostly had to do with those kinds of attitudes and the fact that I refuse to be controlled by them.
