9:48 am
experiences. one occurred in her dormitories kitchen during a party. i had a close friend of mine who i completely feel i could trust. he ended up groping me in my kitchen. and after that, he sent his friends a series of voice notes about me that they haven't played to me about like kind of how he was looking at my body and how he was so excited to come back to the university. so he could have his way with me, the fact that you're afraid of and everybody around you turning into this monster somebody that could physically hurt you is a terrified boy, especially living mixed accommodation. and you're just afraid for your friends coming home at night. and they shouldn't be like that, especially on campus. we meant to be safe, yet the students are taking action against sexual violence in any form. they've made specific demands of the university administration. a small group has occupied the campus for about 2 months and they say all too often corporate get off
