The creepy doesn’t have to be unwanted touching. Predators condition victims many times. And this BS about expecting a young, vulnerable girl withstanding this because she will have to as an adult is maddening. Never in my adult life have I had to withstand the assault on my very being like I did in secondary school.
In a stint at college as a married adult, I had an Ed Psych professor who set off my alarms. He was also my adviser that year. I couldn’t even put a name to my feelings, but after I was through with the year, there were newspaper articles about he and his wife holding sex and drug parties with students.
I gutted my way through the experience and dreaded the adviser meetings. Thinking back, I simply put out the most hostile vibes I could whenever I had to be alone with him. I recall him once launching into a ramble on cognitive dissonance and when he asked me if I understood, I said:”You mean, like I am feeling right now?” Took him aback, although he said absolutely nothing in reply and was my last session alone with him.
