It's truly sad, shameful and pathetic to what our society has come to especially post the pandemic and the explosion of the internet and social media. The point that's being driven is extreme harassment of women from all walks of life and professions. In more recent times, harassment of female therapists. People giving lewd comments on their profile picture's to even being disrespectful in online and offline sessions, ma********ng or sending weird pictures of their body parts.
Well it does not end here, even known males, so called family friends and childhood friends are now hitting on their female friends. Why? Is the society and men in general become so frustrated and desperate? Are they in unhappy relationships? Unhappy marriages, what is the situation that's triggering them to behave in this manner? Not that they are being led on or provoked for such unacceptable behavior.
Besides, Online gives a lot of anonymity and every one believes that life is for having fun. Even at the expense of others, sadly.
So the solution in sight is help them speak up to some one of authority, an older family member or a male counselor, anyone that they feel comfortable with and get over whatever that's causing this kind of desparation and frustration.
PS sorry for the generalization if any, but enough is enough and high time this behavior needs to be stopped.
