      I’m sorry if I’m being unclear. This isn’t about trust or validity of a woman’s word. It’s just, how can we possibly know if this happens to every woman every day for their entire lives if we haven’t asked every woman or every woman said it is so? I know many women for whom this isn’t true, e.g. And that’s just in my personal circle of friends. Imagine how many others there are to deny the claim.

      But of course, basically all of them have experienced it at some point in their lives, this is definitely the case, as my female friends tend to open up about those things to me for some reason (which I appreciate).

      I guess I’m saying my question isn’t really about women and this issue per se, but the fact that we can’t know if something happens to every single person unless we communicated with them all. Logically, I mean.

      This isn’t really important, as a disclaimer. It’s just my OCD kicking in. 🖐️😅 The important bit is that it happens to basically every woman at some point, and that alone is not okay.
