Men and harassment

I was away on holiday in Spain on the 4th May - 14th May I was at the night entertainment with my family and all of a sudden a man walked towards me and was trying to grab my headphones and grabbing my face trying to kiss me I kept pushing him as hard as I could which was hard with the size of him and I was in my wheelchair my dad got involved and started screaming at him so did my uncle and he backed off but this wasn’t the first incident involving that man my dad witnessed a fight between him and his 2 girlfriends didn’t think much of it but when we were in our hotel rooms getting ready for the night entertainment that’s all we could hear was screaming and shouting and then a girl scream as if she was being hurt we saw the 2 girlfriends at the night entertainment and they looked okay but we still reported it to the staff and then few minutes before he tried touching and kissing me one of the staff was dancing and he grabbed her waist and started swaying back and forth she turned around and you could tell by her face she was thinking what the fuck but the staff member shook his head and said no but he didn’t listen until a minute or two later then that’s when he was grabbing me the manager came and was trying to calm me down but I was going in and out of seizures I was so pissed off with myself because I didn’t do anything I wanted to stand up and knock him out because if he did that to my sister or friend I would of killed him so I grabbed my drink and I was going to throw it on him and throw the wine glass at him too but I didn’t I can’t remember what stopped me but karma hit him straight in the face the next day he had a heat stroke and when everyone else was concerned for him I was laughing and I don’t care if that’s cruel he also got kicked out of the hotel after been seen by medical professionals and his 2 girlfriends got to stay and I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe thank you karma but then the next day we were out having food for my dads birthday everything was going well until ANOTHER MAN showed up and sat in between me and my mum and he was stroking my back i tensed and pulled away and my mum said she doesn’t like being touched and he said I’m a special person though NO YOUR FUCKING NOT I didn’t even get the opportunity to say no because they didn’t even ask but what 17 year old is going to want a 40 something year old man kissing her or rubbing her back and my body language was VERY CLEAR in both situations but the manager and the staff were AMAZING when I was going in and out of seizures and when I was coming around I kept seeing the man coming closer but I was completely out of it and having a seizure is VERY vulnerable situation anyway but it’s even more vulnerable when you have a man coming towards you that was trying to grab your headphones and kiss you but the situation was dealt with BRILLIANTLY I couldn’t ask for better staff but I hate men they make me feel unsafe and SO uncomfortable and I will be on edge with any man around me how can you tell what’s a good man and the bad ones because I don’t want to be defensive and hateful towards the good ones
