“My main problem since coming to Harvard has been a more profound understanding of how women are devoid of space on a daily basis. I have seen this in countless ways – it can be like micro-aggressions like you are at a party and you need to get by this larger guy and you say ‘excuse me,’ but they don’t move, instead they force you to rub up against them… You go to any frat, any final club, pretty much any party space regardless of what it is… you will not have a right to that space.”
