21-Year-Old Influencer Gets Email Asking For Her ‘Charges’ And We’re Disgusted

Unfortunately, the reality is that women all around the world face various forms of harassment on a daily basis. This ranges from unwanted comments or gestures in public spaces to receiving inappropriate comments. Often, these instances of harassment can lead to feelings of discomfort, fear, and even trauma for the women involved.

The prevalence of harassment against women is rooted in systemic issues such as gender inequality and toxic masculinity, which have been perpetuated and reinforced in our society for generations. Many women feel that they are not taken seriously when they report incidents of harassment, and often, their experiences are dismissed or even blamed on their behavior or attire.

Notice how he says “any other SERVICES apart from Instagram and reels. They think we post photos & videos as a “service” to them. How self obsessed you have to be to think this way.

Men ask these kind of outrageous questions simply because they just cannot ask a girl out.

One of the reasons why women are disproportionately targeted with online harassment is that they are often viewed as easy targets for online trolls and harassers.

The email, which was sent by an unknown person, is just one of many instances of how women are targeted online, particularly those who have a large social media presence or are public figures. It highlights the urgent need to address and combat the issue of online harassment and abuse against women.
