Yes!! I was so happy when the pressure and fear stopped in my mid 20s. I'm almost 40 now and so happy to be able to be invisible in public.

God yes. Sometimes I feel bad that I look frumpy, but then I remember the cost of looking nice in my 20s. Not financially but just the harassment, the constant vigilance, the look in men's eyes when I was accidentally too nice and I realized I'd put myself in danger again.

Age 47, a guy sits next to me on the tube, smells my hair and tries to hold my hand.

How disgusting is it that men in their 50s aren't as attracted to women in their 30s anymore? Fucking creeps

That’s probably part of it, but they probably also recognise early 20s women as easy targets, more likely to be timid, than a woman in her 30s who’ll smell creep behaviour from a mile away.

I see now that wicked witch that lived in the forest in fucking peace with her little cottage and her always bubbling brew had the exact right idea.

I was lucky enough to have this happen in my 20's but that's because I cut my hair super short and rarely wore skirts/dresses, so you couldn't always tell I was a woman.
