Lol- I would've loved to see that! And these freaky perverts are so astonished when you refuse and fight back- that really gets me! Public gropers are such pathetic deluded people..
I can't believe your mates tried to put a positive spin on that. I don't understand it at all. I think I would've lost it. Then again, I remember trying to convince my boyfriend in Baltimore that I was being harrassed so frequently I didn't want to go out by myself after awhile- he thought I was exaggerating until one day we were walking somewhere but he was several paces behind me (don't remember why) and a guy I passed started making loud and very disgusting comments and requests. I shouted at him,he shouted back, but when my boyfriend caught up and got in his face- he backed down straight away. And apologised. To my boyfriend. It gave me the message I was fair game if not obvious *property* of another man. The boyfriend still really didn't get some of the important reasons why I was so upset- I guess most guys just don't have this experience?
When I think about these things I am so enraged.
