Its like an everyday routine for a women to get harassed.
Once, I remember I was travelling in a train with my family. I was really young, I don't remember exactly but maybe between 10-12 years old. That was my first time travelling in a train. I was so excited because it was one of the things in my wish list at that time. This old men was sitting next to me and was roughly touching my foot with his foot. At first I didn't care about it much. But he did it continuously, and then tried to touch my hand. I didn't know what it was at that time. I never told anyone. At that time, I thought it was just an old man annoying me for some reason. There has been many more incidents but for some reason this one is something that reminds me how innocent and excited I was for that trip and now this is my memory from that train trip.
Then there was a guy I was dating, I still regret it. He is one of the guys who thinks that women are the one who are the reason of rapes and molestation. Men are superior and can do anything. He never forced me to do anything but his thinking was disgusting for other women. He would be ok with his friends having multiple GFs and some of them cheating on their wives. But whenever a women did the same, the issue will automatically become bigger. I'm not saying that a woman cheating on his husband is ok but I'm talking about unequal the end results are for women and men when both of them are unfaithful. Eventually we broke up.
Then I moved to Canada there weren't any harassment incidents with me and I used to feel really happy for being able to be free. But recently, I started seeing a guy. He is an international student here(Indian) and at first I thought he was nice unless he tried to rape me. It was our 2nd date. I managed to escape but after a week one of his friends started to harass me. Now I'm in a different city because of my work and college. And I don't want to return and see their faces again.
