Heavy on the “became less vulnerable.” I had WAY more people try and take advantage of me at 18 than I do now at 22 and I’m chalking it up to the fact that now I have muscles and confidence and that scares the evil insecure fucks off
I got catcalled more at 15 than I did at 22. This issue is pervasive. I didn’t get less attractive, I looked less like a child and became less vulnerable.
