Like I already replied to your other comment, this article wasn't even supposed to gain readers. It's an opinion piece I felt passionate about when I was writing it back in January, simply because this topic came up in my real life. It was read by 100 people and I forgot about it. I have no clue why it blew up a few days ago, but it's not hard to figure out that an article written 5 months before it got so much following just randomly got picked up by Medium's algorithm, to my big surprise.

What's devastating to our society is young teen girls being approached my dudes who are 30-40 if not older, and that every woman has dozen and dozen of stories of creepy pick-up attempts since she was 15, if not 12. It's also devastating that certain men think it's okay. My goal wasn't to trigger anyone, but to share my own awful experiences. If you read the comments, all the mature men who understood what the topic was, agree with me; just like I agree and originally said that dating someone with an age gap is totally fine, as this story was about targeting younger girls, not the age gap.

And like I said before, the victims of Russia's war against Ukraine thank you and everyone who read this - or more like they thank me (well, not really as I'm doing this anonymously) since all the money I had, have and will have are going to Ukraine until the war is over. All my savings are gone, all my salary is being sent there, and all the Medium money are also donated to Ukraine to help those who lost their homes, body parts, loved ones, and etc. But I'm totally fine being misjudged. Feel free to think I'm buying Gucci bags after "bashing" poor and "innocent" men online.
