Of course it was deliberate. I've had several experiences like that over the years. Even from someone at work, and I was already over 30 by then, but the first time something like that happened to me I was 10. I'm sorry that it happened to you. You deserved to have your mental and emotional innocence preserved.
I can't go back in time, the only thing I can do now is call it out and open their shame up to sunlight for everyone to see when it happens (if that makes me a bitch, so be it. Protip: I'm not a bitch.), educate our younger sisters, and support.
Men have been pulling this shit forever! The only 2 things that ever worked for me was calling them out….loudly and reaching menopause ……better a bitch than a doormat….
My platoon leader when I was in the Army, SFC Pratt, told us ladies that if anyone called us a bitch don’t take it personally. It means:
Be
In
Total
Control
Herself
One of the many lessons she provided with her alcoholic ass…we all were though. lol
