I went back and looked at the rest of that thread, and I don't think they ignored what you said at all. You said you don't see it, they gave you detailed and varied examples of what they were talking about and in some cases general ideas of their geographical location and socio-economic status, and you added that you're somewhere on the East Coast of the US and reiterated that you don't see that behavior. With the apparent implication that if it doesn't happen around you, they're lying and it must not exist?

Obviously no one online can do more than tell you about what they've experienced. They can't make you believe them or prove it to you. But it's kinda churlish to say "I haven't seen it" and insist that means it doesn't happen at all.

I'm never street harassed, because I have the good fortune to get around by car these days, and street harassment is largely a pedestrians-versus-loiterers dynamic. I also don't get PMs with dick pics online, because I hang around spaces like Dreamwidth as opposed to dating sites and keep my gender private. But in either case, I don't assume because that stuff is not around me, it doesn't exist or doesn't matter. And if I did, other women would be rightly angry at me for dismissing their problems.

+1000 what did AYRT expect, honestly, coming into a discussion about a particular experience with "well it doesn't happen to ME"?

You mean MY personal experience doesn't automatically invalidate everyone else's?! GTFO /s

AYRT is coming across as pretty disingenuous, honestly.
