Women are sharing their experiences of receiving unsolicited advances from men

TwitterFacebook

If you’ve ever had to pretend to have a boyfriend or husband to get out of an uncomfortable or threatening situation, then you’ll know that it can be a terrifying and isolating experience.

But, you’re not alone and these responses to Jameela Jamil’s tweets are proof of that. 

The star of The Good Place tweeted that she was shopping with a friend when a man made advances at her. She told him she had a boyfriend and thanked him, but the situation quickly escalated into one of harassment. 

Was out at the shops with my friend. Man ogles me. Man then approaches me to give me his number. I explain I have a boyfriend but thank him for the offer. Man then threatens my career, saying I better remember that I rejected him. And then Shouts at me that I’m low class… 🤷🏽‍♀️

The Good Place star Jameela Jamil is very vocal on social media about body image issues and her own struggles with an eating disorder. 

Her latest tweets about why photoshop and airbrushing in the media should be illegal have gone massively viral. 

Jamil used magazine covers featuring actors over the age of 50 to illustrate her point about how airbrushing is “weaponised” against women.
