Comment	No, I really don't think it's worse now and I don't understand what basis you think you have to make that claim? I think that what's been happening to us women is now more visible to men because we talk about it and post about it on social media. You think it's worse but I feel like it's as bad as it's always been and I feel like I have a far better grounding to say that than you do. Do you have any sort of citation for your allegation that sex crimes are massively on the rise? Sorry to burst this anti-Asian guy circlejerk you've all got going on here, but I have (and continue to) experience substantially more harassment from white Scottish guys than I have experienced it from Asian guys. You are primed to see Asian men as potential perpetrators, so you think you see it happening more often with Asian men involved because you're more likely to scrutinise an interaction that's on-going. But I would absolutely put money on you just not paying that much attention to interactions between white women and white men, and so you don't see it. Because we (as in women) often try not to make too much of a scene because making a scene can be dangerous for us. And sometimes just plain does fuck all to get rid of the creep. I've had white guys being a creep, I've made a scene, and all that's happened is that other white guys say "aw he just fancies you!!!", "aw it's just banter!", "it's a compliment!" and I'm just being a bitch, especially when he's a 20-something normal looking white guy and everyone around looks just like him. 20 years ago they were fucking not quicker to call this out. Otherwise I wouldn't have countless memories of being harassed by adult men when I was 13 (and fucking looked 13, btw, absolutely no plausible deniability there for anyone) where other adults (particularly adult men) did nothing whatsoever to intervene. Often just staring, maybe commenting amongst themselves, but otherwise leaving the creepy bastard to it. Anyone who thinks it was "better" 10 or 20 years ago is deluding themselves.
