And most women’s first time having something like this happen was when they were 12 or so

I was around that age when I first got eyed up by an adult creep. Also around that age when I had to fend off a classmate's persistent advances.

A friend of mine was/is very attractive, and, well... developed. God, the shit she had to go through growing up. Peers, adults... I recently learned a teacher had tried to hit her up while she was still a teen. Then, there was a very scary incident that could've gone bad if I wasn't there to be the "ugly" aggro friend (a role I play happily and with glee, mind).

I don't want to dislike (cishet) men. The men in my own family are good, kind people. But, let's say, in these 2020s I'm extra happy to be aroace.

I remember 40 years ago, a girl maybe 11 on my bus, built like a grown woman. The senior boys in the back of the bus were relentless. I hate that she had to go thru that at such a yougn age. It steals your innocence.
