    I would wager that an additional two in five were oblivious to such harassment or contact.

    As a young boy I was totally unaware when a man flashed me and my sister.

      My earliest memory was bicycling around as a preteen and being cat called from a car

      At the time I wasn’t upset. Because I simply didn’t understand. And so much was normalized I’m sure this is the case.

      Or, like me, you gave cat-callers the finger and just walked on without looking at them or even thinking about it until years later.

      I’m sure I’m not the only one who had that routine nailed by the time I was thirteen.
