An unhinged man has called me continuously for four months. I feel physically ill when I see his name on my phone. I’m unable to block him through my work phone. My chain of command seems indifferent, although I’ve forwarded many of the extremely uncomfortable voicemails and said multiple times that I feel unsafe and uncomfortable interacting with this person. He continues to leave voicemails despite the fact that I have not answered for months. I don’t have social media because of an ex that harassed me for years with fake accounts, and now work is not even safe.
In Oregon, a woman bloodied her hands while escaping from the cage that a rapist locked her in. There is an unspoken truth that many in that situation will never be found. Somewhere out there, at this very moment, there’s a woman or a girl who will not escape. Probably many.
Why are we being punished? Why are we being intimidated, hurt, used, and killed? Have I unknowingly died and been assigned to burn in this rot for all eternity?
I don’t want to be perceived anymore. I don’t want small talk. Don’t tell me to smile more. Men, don’t even fucking look at me, please.
