Jameela Jamil’s experiences of sexual harassment sparked replies that will make you despair

Actor and model, Jameela Jamil, spends a lot of her time calling out toxic behaviour, such as body-shaming, pushing harmful diet aids, and misogyny – and she takes no shit from anyone. She recently shared a couple of experiences she has had in which she received unwanted attention from men.

Her comment brought another horrible incident to mind.

More stories flooded in, many of which would make you despair for the state of masculinity.

Resorting to insults after a rejection is obviously Wounded Masculinity 101.

The woman’s sexuality is also of no consequence, apparently.

Other women can be amazing allies.

But not if they buy into the “you were asking for it” bullshit.

One woman, Sally McSurly, put it into devastatingly real terms

If you’re heading over to say “Not all men”, save your breath for lecturing your brethren on not being creeps.
