How common is it to be 'groped' by a stranger?

[Anonymous]

I was groped many times in junior high and high school and it always was a big joke. The boys would try to pull our string bikini's off at the public pools. It was boys being boys.

Now in the #metoo days when a sexual assault (groping) is committed by a teenager at school it makes headlines and the citizens come out with their pitchforks to extract a pound of flesh from the sex offender.

Always amazes me that a woman wouldn't do something. At least scream and kick them in the nuts as hard as you can.

It always amazes me that men don’t realize that most women are very much aware that most men are stronger and often more aggressive than we are. Remember that saying?: Most men are afraid that women might laugh at them. Most women are afraid that men might kill them.

Maybe you can also be amazed that when women get groped in public, it’s very rare that others — you, know, in the community— will help them. Perhaps they’re afraid of being victimized too?

No, it is not. If you're a man, how would you feel about a random man touching your crotch while you're out having a drink with some friends?

this! How do men think this is ok? Is it a power thing? Do they get off on touching another person without their permission? Are they that desperate?

You don’t know how strong men are. You really wound not make a dent if you punched a guy.

I took a co-ed Krav Maga class once and wound up in the hospital after I partnered with a guy. I'm in very good shape, and he wasn't, but he was so much bigger and stronger.

I'm the chick that was assaulted in Baltimore. I actually tried to defend myself and I just bounced off the guy which is why my brother stepped in. I was a college athlete at the time and he was a drunk. It was very eye opening how much stronger men are than women.

A guy grabbed my P on a crowded subway train in NYC in 1998. I honestly didn’t know it was assault until trump ran for President. Obviously it was disgusting and wrong, but I just figured men are pigs. I’d been stared at and cat called since I was about 10.

Well, it depends. If the boy goes around grabbing girls crotches on a regular basis, then yes, they should be registered as a sex offendor. You must've voted for Trump.

If your DD comes home upset because some gross boy grabbed her crotch, I guess you will say, "boys will be boys.. get over it". Mom of the year award.

women don't seem to realize that most men don't mind being treated like a piece of meat.

But, if the man was consistently grabbed in the crotch by a really ugly women, he would probably get upset. Lucky for them, they are strong enough to protect themselves. Women, unfortunately, don't.

Women should mace any guy who grabs her.

Men clearly will be angry if bigger men grope them.

Concerts, all the time.

The number of times I've been groped equals the number of times I've punched someone.

Few guys want to be treated like a piece of meat by an ugly guy who’s bigger and stronger than they are.

The first time it happened I was 12 and in line for a ski lift. I fell and a man (probably an older teen or college age) helped me up and then proceeded to grope me and smacked my butt while his friends laughed. I was too embarrassed to know what to do. Since then, multiple times, mostly unwanted grabbing in situations where guys are very drunk (bars, clubs, concerts). The worst was a man on a crowded NYC subway put his hand between my legs and started rubbing.

I've seen men literally run away from aggressive women they don't find attractive.

It's actually why Christine Blasey Ford's story didn't faze me in the least. I thought it almost certainly did happen as she described it, but that sort of thing happened to many young females in the 80s - unwanted groping, throwing on beds, wrestling - myself included. I had an occasion where I was terrified and thought I might be raped. But I must say, it was so commonplace among the girls I knew that I didn't feel traumatized by it.

I cannot even tell you how many times I was groped - breasts, derriere, crotch. I didn't realize it was sexual assault until someone at the law firm where I was a paralegal told me that it was. I was 25.
