30 Heartwrenching Examples Of How Young Girls Were When They Stopped Trusting Men
Many of their stories are shocking.
It is a fact of life that women can't easily trust men. Historically, men have not been reliable partners.
Women have often been left to care for children and handle all the household chores while their husbands went out to work. In many cases, when the man came home, he would be drunk and abusive.
Another reason women can't trust men is that, in general, males are more aggressive and violent than females. This means that women are more likely to be harassed by men and receive unwanted advances than the other way around.
Finally, many men still see women as inferior beings, which leads to discrimination and inequality. For all these reasons, it is understandable why women find it difficult to trust men.
It can be tough to talk about the harsh realities of life. However, we need to open our eyes and listen to the voices of women.
A Twitter user, @Emrazz (Feminist Next Door), started an important discussion with women. She asked her female followers when they first felt uncomfortable in their own bodies due to men.
Many responses were unlike anything you commonly see on social media. Women weren't afraid to open up about the inappropriate behavior they experienced from men, including some who were closest to them.

As you can see, these women started distrusting men as early as they were children.
Children are meant to be protected. But instead, these shameless men are taking advantage of their powerlessness.
Even as children grow into adults, they still face the same kind of harassment from men. That's why it's important to speak up.
It's crucial to show the reality that women face, educate the younger generations, and report such acts to people and authorities you can trust.
