But I think that the feeling of discomfort is already evidence that they have <i>some</i> concept of being harassed, even if it is not well-formed or articulateable.Sara L.

It's quite possible to be harassed, or even assaulted and feel deeply uncomfortable about it, but not know that one is being harassed or assaulted because one simply doesn't have the concept for it (is that what Fricker calls hermeneutical injustice?). This typically happens to younger girls, and by the time they have the concepts, the experience has been forgotten, or filed under 'what men normally do to little girls' 'just a joke' etc. And if you are confronted with other people's similar experiences it can come back, and be reassessed as harassment or assault. (And I believe that this is mostly a good thing, for one's confidence and general well-being). And of course if you weren't ever on the receiving end of such treatment - and I'm glad you and others weren't; it shows that at least it's possible to go through life without being treated like a piece of meat - then that won't happen. But for women to whom it did happen, and who haven't had the words or concepts for it, then all those facebook testimonies are useful. But also - it's already being done, see #everydaysexism on twitter. See also the report on French women being groped or worse in public transports. We already know that it is big.
