In reply to the discussion: Check in here if you are a woman who has been groped. [View all]femmedem
(8,445 posts)14. Check.
I was a barmaid, walking up some stairs with a tray full of beers, when I felt some guy pinch my butt. Since my hands were full, I reflexively kicked him and kept walking.
The next time I saw him (he was a regular, and that was the first time he'd behaved badly) I apologized for kicking him. He told me not to apologize, he deserved it, and that he hadn't pinched me: he'd bitten me.
Also been raped, but that's another story.

Well, here we are. I feel damned lucky to get away before anything became too weird.

Check. I'm gonna take a wild guess that if you are female, you have been groped.

Not groped in the literal sense but I went to the store with a guy I barely knew to buy some

Yep. Might be more interesting for women who HAVEN'T been groped to self-identify. n/t

Not a pleasant truth, but this just shows how many of us have stories, even men
