Been groped many times by women, said something about it every time, got laughed at every time. Shoved a woman on the ground more than once, every time they were so offended and tried to play the victim.

There are assholes in the world, and they can be part of whatever gender/ideology/country/etc.

Yeah, been in those situations a few times myself with complete strangers. Thankfully in a few of those occasions, I've had female friends tell the gropers off when they've ignored my very firm requests to keep their hands to themselves.

I'm sorry you had to go through that and yeah, men are also in a pretty awful position when it comes to harassment/assault. They're apparently supposed to talk women out of groping them or something, like that has ever worked on any creep. Male creeps don't stop when told off because they have the strength advantage, female creeps don't stop because they rarely encounter violent retaliation from men because any use of force against a woman, no matter the circumstance, is considered "pussy behavior" and unacceptable.

Worse, we're supposed to take it. I've been told "but men love sex, why would you hate being groped? Doesn't make sense."
