Katja Schuurman: I could have made 180 reports of sexual assault | Stars

entertainment">Katja calls on women who have experienced something similar to make themselves heard. “Girls and women who have been through things with men who didn’t feel well: get up! Let us know! Let them know that what happened is not normal. Don’t blame yourself.”

entertainment">The presenter emphasizes that it is never the victim’s fault. “Why you went, wherever you went, how it could have happened: it’s all part of an apparently -still- widely accepted narrative. Accepted and almost self-evident behavior.”

entertainment">Katja also writes that most men are ‘not like that’, but has a message for the gentlemen who have crossed borders. Bunch of crass, arrogant, narcissistic, insensitive, simplistic, self-centered, stupid jerks. Take a look in the mirror. No, really look. What do you see? Who do you see? Let pass in your head what you have said, sent, done. What do you feel? Do you feel anything? Don’t you feel anything? Try to be there for a moment. With yourself. With that which is true. Because unless you are too narcissistic you know exactly what is innocent and what is secretly not. And then think about how you want to proceed.”
