I think it's very easy to say 'stand up for yourself' but it's harder to do in practice. Look at Terry Crews, he was a victim of sexual assault by a producer and yet remained quiet and he's built like a Greek God. It can happen to anyone and I don't think how you respond to it is about personality or confidence, being harassed and assaulted could put anyone through a gamut of doubt and passivity when it comes to dealing with what happened to them.

While it's important to tell women (and in some cases, men) to stand up for themselves we must put more emphasis on trying to tackle the source of it, the people committing these acts that have no respect for the genders they are attracted to.
