Yeah it's a mess, there are some proper pigs out there. The comic still feels a bit like somebody hears about child abduction on the media and the punch line is that it's somehow insensitive to suggest to let the kids go to school on their own.

I wouldn't be surprised if more men are victims of this too than one would think, or i got incredibly "lucky". I remember when i was a kid, skateboarding in the city, i would go to the toilet of the main train station if i needed to. There were almost always men masturbating and looking over to me, but i didn't understand back then, although i found it very uncomfortable, the smell of that toilet may have done its part though, haha.

When i was older, going home from the club i used to pass the are of the same train station and it must have been a place for male prostitution at night, i had almost every weekend cars stalking me, randos asking if i wanted to jerk them off or some shit. I didn't feel scared though, which seems a bit weird in hindsight, but i never change my route home.

Later i also got randomly jumped and beat up, out of the blue, in the middle of the night by two guys. That one was actually traumatic and it took me half a year to not think about it anymore.

I got jumped once.

(Walking home at 3am. Crowd of kids under a streetlight, a dozen. Figured there was a party nearby. I'm walking by, say hi, one kid approaches me, says "hey you got a light". I aay "nope". He walks closer and says it again. Then bam, somebody hits me on the head from behind with a bat. I'm out for a couple seconds. Come to with blood everywhere. 2 guys standing over me. One says, "give me your wallet, we know where you live, don't call the cops, we've done this before". So I give them my wallet and they run away down the street. Then I'm sitting there bleeding for a minute. The crowd is watching all this. Then one says, "I guess we should run". Then they all leave. Then I get up and walk a block to a friend's house and call an ambulance.)

Still got the scar.

After that, everybody was a suspect. Everybody I saw got my burning looks.

For about 6 months I was like that.
