Survivor Teaches Female College Students That No One Has Right To Force Them To Sit Through Serenade
In college, Kim Jones was forced to endure a non-consensual acoustic guitar solo that would change her life forever. Today, she’s empowering young women on college campuses across the country to stand up and fight against these very same types of unwanted serenades.

All jokes aside/another joke to add: Was it not historic witch folklore that their songs could, what's the song title? "I put a spell on you!"

I know this is satire but satire often has a hidden message. What is the hidden message in this case?

I'm a guy, but also feel discomfort when some Mexican starts playing in a restaurant. For me it's the feeling of guilt when I refuse to tip them.

It happened to me when I was a freshman in college. It….It was a group of them. Three guitars and one weirdo with a drum. It was a cover of Gotye’s “Somebody I Used to Know.” Now I freeze whenever I hear that song.
Which is every other store.

Im a recovering acoustic guitar player and serenade deviant. It's not an easy road, I actually wrote a song about it when I knew I shouldn't.

I had no idea girls felt that way. But at least they hid their feelings well. I always sang "We've only just begun" to girls. I even slapped the wood on my guitar in the chorus. Well at least I was in a good place.

It's so disgusting that POTUS is a serenader too. We know he is a very emotional man and he says himself that no one can sing or play guitar (or any instrument) better than him and also that he wrote Hallelujah and invented the guitar.
He's even directly braged about serenading women and let's be real, we know he did it to children too.

Try "let me stop you right their homeless guy. If you're serenading me you must be single and everyone knows single singer song writers are homeless and I'm not looking for any charity cases".

When I was a child, my brother used to play the guitar to me… All the time. All I could do was listen, and smile. Today, he's doing it to his children. I know he is. Luckily, he's a really good musician, but still…

To think there are people who think it's okay if the person serenading you is your husband.

But what about the male need to serenade. If men can't serenade it will harm the emotional need they have. Men NEED the sernade.

This brave woman, men like this deserves a blunt scissor cutting off the strings of their ukulele. How many women, need to be wonderwalled before we start to take action.

Yep… happened to me too… i was at a party and I looked cute and had my hair and makeup done nice… then out of nowhere… another college student walked towards me … holding a guitar. He began to perform, "your body is a wonderland " – i had to sit and pretend to enjoy it. After that experience, i never went to parties or did my hair or makeup and stopped bathing- just to avoid another encounter.
