I always get it off passing men in white vans for some reason. And i had 'nice tits' shouted at me when i was 13/14. I've also been harrassed at school a few times, had a guy shove his hands between my legs in a corridoor and the same guy grap me and try to lick my face on seperate occasions. Also been harrassed by a 'friend' when i was 14. I did make a thread about it ages ago and it ended up in a massive debate.
Shame he got banned. I liked his posts :hyper:. They were entertaining. :razz:
Of course, because we have breasts and a vagina means we enjoy being groped and perved on by total strangers.
I was walking home from work once, in my work uniform which is hardly attractive (before anyone tries to suggest that what I was wearing means I brought it on myself), and walked past a group of guys, one of whom grabbed my arse as he walked past me. I was halfway to tears at the time anyway, due to unrelated things (although it was, incidentally, the reason I was walking home rather than being given a lift), and that just made everything ten times worse.
Meh.
My flatmate gets really upset that men make comments at her where she works. She's very small and cute looking and also very sensitive. I guess I deal with harassment now by going alng with the joke to a point. Like one guy said to me "nice tits" when I was working and I said "I know, great aren't they" and his friend asked me if I felt uncomfortable with him talking to me like that and I said "I live with myself 24/7, if I should be comfortable with anyone it's me". Never really got anymore comments after that.
Otherwise I just ask them not to talk to me in such a way, or ignore them.
I think it's a power thing, a lot of dirty old men like the attention, or the shock of it. As for propositioning somebody for sex, I think that it's an attention thing too.
However, if somebody tries to touch me, especially in the street then God help them. I've thrown a guy around six stone heavier than me on the floor before. Needless to say my body is my own and I don't take shit from men.
Unfortunately, yes.
It was nasty.
hmmmm :rolleyes:
Yeah it is strange.
I've had suggestive comments and my arse slapped in a nightclub. Didn't appreciate it when I charged him into the bar. Why do people think they can do that?
Once a car full of 'rudeboi's' slowed down and a guy leant out the window and asked her if she was free tonight, and there was me just standing there like "You fucking what mate?"
They don't?
Back to the drawing board for me!
The most recent time was about a year ago when I was at a fetish club. It was one of their bigger events, so a lot of newbies just going to check it out, lots of men in big groups where they normally wouldn't be. The club has some strict rules to be adhered to, and one of them is that you do not touch anyone without their prior permission. Aside from this event, it has never been a problem, the vast majority of people respect the rules.
So when I guy and his friend thought it would be funny to grab my arse while I was walking past, I thought it was even funnier when I went over to the bouncers and had them thrown out
That's a relief, because some of the looks I was being given made me think that the women didn't appreciate my attention
Out of context quotes are great! :thumb:
TBH I always thought that a swift knee to the happy sack was how you girls dealt with this kind of thing?
