However in my instance: a) It was unexpected from a stranger and hurt like hell. b) It was a random grab much to the hilarity of her and her friends c) It is actually humiliating and embarrassing What is annoying is that if I made a deal of it I would be been laughed at, disbelieved or told "yea right you wish"

py2006 wrote: » I am sure it does but most certainly not rampant. In my earlier days, as I said before, I was grabbed in the crotch by girls in nightclubs. I'd say it happened 3-4 times. It hurt too on one occasion. But ssshhh, don't tell Louise... EDIT: I worked briefly at the age of 15 as a loungeboy and had my ass pinched on more than one occasion.

Walter H Price wrote: » no not missing your point at all , i was agree and just saying that the sentiment you expressed is routinely being express in the media , in articles like the one in the topic of this thread and i also feel it negatively impacts men and women. apologies if that didn't come across.

I think he was a pathetic prick, but again I don't think all men are like that, and I wouldn't give him the power to stop me going

If women were truly harassed to that level and felt at any moment they would be raped they wouldn't be in nightclubs dressed up to the nines knocking back drink like it's a free bar. They'd stay well clear of the violent and dangerous world of outside. Most women look forward too and enjoy (and quite rightly) a good night out. If they were in this much fear they would not.

But i think it also make some men , who maybe a bit weaker or whatever feeling very insecure and uncomfortable with the fact that the may be afraid to be on their own late at night. i remember a friend of mine talking to me about this a few years ago , I'm 6"2 a former rugby player and boxer with a massive Joe Leadly - esque beard , not your stereotypical victim type. I remember a mate saying to me that he was concerned he'd never be able to protect any girl that was with him if they got mugged or whatever because he was to afraid of getting in a fight. This was shortly after a similar situation involving my Girlfriend. I remember feeling really bad for him that he felt in 2015 that society still expected him to be the big tough man protecting his damsel is distress can only imagine what it does to lads confidence who maybe have ended up in that situation and hadn't been able to scrap it out for whatever reason. But i was also thinking I've know this guy since we were 5 or 6 and he's never been a scrapper i could only imagine the state he could end up in if he tried to step in or that.

It happened once. On an average night out there is zero suggestion I will be physically assaulted. If I went out and there was regularly a suggestion someone might beat my head in, this together with my actual assault would make me fearful. And it would make all the other men on this thread fearful too. Most women I know are suggested to sexual harassment. Some are so used to it they consider it normal to be groped and called "c**t" for not responding to a come on. It's completely different to men experiencing a violent physical assault once in their life. I'm not saying we have a rape culture but to equate the fear a lone woman might feel to the fear a lone man might feel is completely ridiculous.
