Hi Habrish,

THank you so so much. I whitewashed the totality of the how awful that was & left out a lot. But hit the major points. Plus it does not have a lasting hurt at all for me. I had something far worse in my life at 19 (but it did not answer your running question : ).

It is the line of your story as well as Mistress Kat's (hugs to you Mis Kat!! ). I just thought gah, I could not even think of how to describe it in this forum. I was so very lucky. I buried the incident for 20 years (I was 19 & there was no language then). I thought I'd told my Mom, and accidently mentioned it in line with a topic. The really great part is as you say, we are strong & here & the women I can help has been incredible. I was the only one -  in excrutiating detail explain what might pass aas minor one-off inappropriate behavior to the organizers of a dance community. & now they have at least spoke to the guy who has been inappropriate every week for 15 years.

The men who know at the dance keep their eyes out but there was little they could do. The young women did what I almost did, which is avoid eye-contact and ignore him. All I could think of was the worst instance & I asked myself a simple question: Who do I want to be as a person? Do I want to let this happen to anyone else? I decided that I want to do the hard thing that is right. Not the easy thing.

I was tired last night & just tried to answer Habrish's question, so couldn't adequately "Hug" you Mistress Kat!

Go Us indeed!!!!

Ever So
