because women are marginalized in all aspects of life. Because it is socially ok to do so. Because fighting back, causes things like Pussy riots.

We threaten your space, we threaten your power, we threaten your identity. And yes, i do include all men to a very small extent in that "your", and some men to a huge extent.

Despite the fact that women have been on Denver's fire Dept for nearly 40 years, (1976), and that 2 or 3 women are top officials, women fire fighters are harassed, abused, raped, simply driven out by not being included. It's a virtual annual story in our papers.

You learn to live with it and ignore it, ADK, but when you actually start asking women about it, they do all kinds of small subtle things to "survive" in a man's world.
