Imagine you had told him that where you came from, you castrate the men of the house and hang the penis in front of your door for good luck. Or you speak Yoruba and act as if you are reciting incantations to make him think you are a witch. Or anytime you are home alone, you wear black and red clothes and start singing one of those Fuji songs to pretend that you are ā€œin the spiritsā€. He would have left the second time you did it. Just imagine. šŸ„²

It's crazy how I related so well to this because I had a similar experience twice and till now I never knew it was sexual harassment. And the crazy thing is how they quickly throw around the word nudist, how do you claim to be nudist in a shared space? I didn't have the courage to confront the animals on both occasions cos I was squatting at the time. I'm really sorry you had to experience such disgusting behavior.

ā€œNudistā€ in a shared apartment? Marco should have been living under a Turkey bridge, if they have those. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ Iā€™m sorry you were traumatized, Hauwa!

Nigerian men peeing by the roadside and Marco are in the same group chat. Mr. Man, you can see this is a public place, but that is where you want to remove your penis and pee. Okay, me too, I will look you dead in the eyes, let's see who will be embarrassed that their private part is now public.

So sorry you went through this, Hauwa

The first thing I thought while reading the beginning of this story was how my ex used to run around naked in our flat and his family home, in front of his parents and sister and a very embarrassed and annoyed me. And guess where he was from? šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹ I used to think highly of Italian men, but after several of them I think theyā€™re just walking disasters waiting to happen.

Omg Iā€™m so sorry this happened to you and I will admit it reminded me of the times men insisted on showing me their penis. How did you have the fortitude to finish your thesis?
