I got called a "karen". I don't think this guy knows what a Karen is. I was posting on a vlog I follow, and I posted about how when I was in high school, a boy in my class was harassing me, snapping my bra, making vulgar comments about what he wanted to do to me, etc. It was happening in the hallways and in my Biology class where we had assigned seating and his seat was next to mine. I went to the Bio teacher and asked if he could move our seats apart and explained why. He told me that there were always going to be people I didn't like, but I had to find a way to get along, and that it was my fault because I would blush and kind of nervously giggle out of embarrassment, which was encouraging to him. He DID make a new seating arrangement, and put the boy right behind me, where he was even closer and had more access to snap my bra, mess with my hair, stick pencils in my ear, etc. I came home in tears every afternoon and my brother finally got angry and slammed the boy up against some lockers and a teacher heard the commotion and came to see what was going on. My brother told the story, the kid confirmed he HAD done and said those things and he just laughed about it, so she marched both of them to the principal's office. It did finally stop, because the boy was reminded that his family was fixing to move soon, and he wouldn't be allowed to leave the state if there was a lawsuit pending against him. So he stopped, and at the time, that's all I had wanted. I didn't want to make trouble for anyone, I just wanted him to stop, so I DIDN'T file a lawsuit, and that in hindsight, I probably should have, and also included the Bio teacher for not protecting me and not doing anything to stop it, and instead making it worse. And I also mentioned in my post that I had had numerous other experiences...a guy who grabbed my behind (who I promptly punched in the stomach) and various men who blocked my entrance to a bathroom, or a hallway, etc and made lewd suggestions. And for this, a guy said I was intent on thinking all men were evil, and he called me a Karen.
