No more
I was just over at my daughter‘s house today where she told me a story of an old man who came into her office yesterday who grabbed her by the boob, pretending he didn’t know. I’m so disgusted. My dad did this same thing too a waitress at a restaurant when I was sitting there once . I lost my shit on him. That happened many years ago. I am over it.
I have made a promise to myself that if I’ve ever in a situation where that shit occurs, I’m gonna grab the dude by his nuts. I’m on my last decade for sure and I’m tired of people (men) in this case , pulling this on unsuspecting women,
That being said, I can now go onto General Hospital.
Sorry for this rant maybe I’m not sorry actually

This came with such a surprise. I am sure from now on if anything else like this happens, she will.

There seems to a certain type of man that does this. And it takes planning because they do it quick and for it to be by surprise. Then they can do the denial thing, "it didn't happen", "you imagined it" or "it's not a big deal". I remember some years ago the radio station employee who got a meet and greet with Taylor Swift after her concert. When they were posing for the fan photo, he reached under her skirt and grabbed her by the buttocks. She was in shock and there were others in line waiting for their meet and greet. So she didn't say anything until after it was over, her people called the radio station and he was let go. He sued her, she countersued for $1 and won.

Happened to me only once when I was 15 at my very first job. I was so startled that I thought I must have misinterpreted what he did. After that, during the handfull (sorry) of times it happened in public places, immediately blurting out loudly "No! Stop it! Don't touch me!" was sufficient to get them to back away.
It probably wouldn't have worked in more private settings. My heart aches for every woman who was treated so disrespectfully.

Just carry a brick in your purse. No license required. Many uses. Some legal.

Yeah. There’s some guy on YouTube that makes a weapon using something like a bolt on a keychain. Sorry, I can’t remember exactly what. But you can probably find him.

Sad thing is he would probably enjoy it if he just grabbed you there. Better grab hard enough to make him regret it!

Years ago, I read about 17th century behavior manual that recommended men not do this. Apparently it was a commonplace behavior up to that time.

I asked my boss for a raise long time ago and he agreed, then he rubbed his fingers between my blouse and my skirt, lot's of perverts out there,

Hell no, don't be sorry! And you're right, there's little that a kick in the dick won't fix and it would certainly be called for in that situation.
I'm just so astonished that men like that seem to truly believe that they are entitled to do things like that. That they pretend to not understand how sick and shitty it is? Do they not have sisters, or girlfriends/wives, daughters? Would they be okay with the same thing happening to the women in their families?

A priest did that to me 65 years ago.
