I had more than my share (at least I hope so) of experiences with exposers. At least 5 when I was a child and more as the years went by. Men in cars, men waiting at soda machine at the kid's matinee, men in libraries in the stacks, etc. I always got the feeling that the perps were in the grip of a horrible addiction. They seemed ashamed, furtive and beyond control.
This had a big impact on me as a child, causing me to think that there was something about ME that was causing it (maybe karma, like you said?). After the 10th or so incident it was like 'oh yeah, another one, yawn'. In fact the last time it happened (in the back annex of a large bookstore) I actually snapped - I had HAD IT! - and ran after the perp screaming with teeth bared and claws raised. He tried to run away with his pants down around his ankles yelling 'Help me! She's crazy!' I was pummeling and kicking him as he ran out the door still 'un-cocked'. It was pretty funny and healed alot of old wounds.
From the look on every one of these guys faces, it was clear that it was beyond their power to stop. I have compassion for these people but I would not want to subject myself to being in relationship with one. You can't hide the world from them and it would only be a matter of time. - BCat
